The Big Mates discuss olive oil, Christmas, strings, and two side projects from members of Radiohead.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas return to the subject of their fourth season in order to catch up the extra-curricular activities of members of Radiohead.

First up is the string-laden and atmospheric third album from Philip Selway, Strange Dance. Then they explore Jarak Qaribak, the collaboration between Jonny Greenwood and Dudu Tassa.

They talk about the writing and recording process, the context surrounding the albums, and offer up analysis, opinions, and thoughts from three differing perspectives on music, from being deeply into analysis and music, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between.

Has Phil made another Christmas album? Who is the spikiest member of Radiohead?  Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next Monday May 13th, and will see us return to R.E.M. with a deep-dive into their sixth album, Green!
