Rewind: Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood on His Photography, Nick Cave, and Radiohead’s Reunion

On this week's Rewind episode, Kyle Meredith speaks with Radiohead’s Colin Greenwood, who opens up about his new photography book How To Disappear: A Photographic Portrait of Radiohead.

The book offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at Radiohead, a band known for its mystique, and includes personal photos interspersed with words of reflection on the band’s middle years. Greenwood credits Nick Cave for helping him frame the concept of the book, finding beauty in the “middle years” of a band’s career.

The bassist jokes about the band’s reluctance to be photographed, though ultimately reflects on how supportive his bandmates were of his passion for photography. The interview delves into the band’s creative process, particularly how the environments they recorded in influenced their sound, from haunted 15th-century manor houses during OK Computer to derelict country estates for In Rainbows.

The bassist also mentions his recent work with Nick Cave, having played bass on Cave’s new album, and how the band’s hiatus allowed him to explore other creative avenues. As Radiohead approaches its 40th anniversary, Greenwood hints that the band recently reunited for a jam session and is excited about what’s next, though he’s careful not to reveal too much about their future plans.
