About the album
Pablo Honey, according to DoReSol
The story of Pablo Honey begins with the band known as On a Friday, which formed in the 1980s and regrouped in the early 90s. After several demos and live performances in Oxford, they signed with EMI/Parlophone and changed their name to Radiohead. Their first EP, Drill, did not achieve much success, but it laid the groundwork for their debut album. The production was handled by Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade, who had worked with bands the members admired, such as Dinosaur Jr. and Buffalo Tom.
Before the album's release, "Creep" was released as their first single, though it did not have an immediate impact. Despite being considered too depressing by some, the song resonated with the public, leading the band to focus on recording the album. Most of the tracks were recorded quickly, as many of them had been part of their live repertoire for years. Pablo Honey includes other notable songs like "Anyone Can Play Guitar" and "Stop Whispering", which reflect the essence of the band in its early days. The mix of soft sonic textures and noisy guitars is felt throughout the album, which, although seen as a compendium of their early works, marked the beginning of a career that would lead them to explore far more complex territories in the future.
