Flea and Thom Yorke in a room together again, for the first time since Atoms for Peace: a slow, flickering night-drive of a song, Yorke’s voice and piano over Flea’s bass and his own trumpet, with Jeff Parker on guitar and Deantoni Parks on drums. The second single from Honora, Flea’s first album under his own name, out March 27 on Nonesuch. Yorke has described the words as living in the “upside down” – trying to make sense of a flood of information, real and fake.

Written by Flea, Thom Yorke and Josh Johnson. Flea: electric bass and trumpet. Thom Yorke: vocal, piano and synth. Deantoni Parks: drums. Jeff Parker: guitar. Nathaniel Walcott: Fender Rhodes. Mauro Refosco: percussion. Josh Johnson: alto saxophone. From Honora, produced by Josh Johnson. Nonesuch Records. Photograph: Chatham Square, New York, unknown maker, 1853–55, daguerreotype. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Gilman Collection, Gift of The Howard Gilman Foundation, 2005.
