Deep Listening: Everything In Its Right Place by Radiohead

Our first edition of Deep Listening features a Radiohead classic.

Deep Listening is a new series in which The Vinyl Factory spins monumental albums and songs, both contemporary and classic, in the Devon Turnbull Listening Room at The Vinyl Factory: Reverb Exhibition in 180 Studios.

A meditative listening room created by New York artist Devon Turnbull and programmed by The Vinyl Factory, the space allows visitors to listen to music on a handmade, high-fidelity sound system. Its plush, minimalist interiors have enthralled visitors to The Vinyl Factory: Reverb exhibition and played host to events with The Blessed Madonna, Stephen O’Malley, and many more.

Our first entry into the series is Radiohead classic “Everything In Its Right Place”, originally released on Kid A and once again repackaged on 2021’s compilation Kid A Mnesia.

“Everything In Its Right Place” recently celebrated its 24th anniversary with Kid A‘s birthday in October. It is the opening track of one of the most influential albums of the 21st century – an album that offered a true masterclass in abstraction and genre-blending.

Recorded as a response to the pressure Thom Yorke found himself under following the success of OK Computer, “Everything In Its Right Place” features heavy use of a Prophet 5 synthesizer and is a seamless marriage of electronic, ambient and alternative rock emotion.

Listen to “Everything In Its Place”, played on the Devon Turnbull sound system, above.

The Vinyl Factory: Reverb runs until December 22 at 180 Studios. Book tickets online.
