All in a day’s work: Robotanists cover and release Radiohead’s new album ‘The King of Limbs’

9

This is either a publicity stunt or a stroke of genius, but we’ll bite: Robotanists, the L.A. quartet doing this month’s residency at the Silverlake Lounge, have covered Radiohead’s “King of Limbs” and released it digitally. Well, that was quick. Robotanists’ take on the latest from Thom Yorke and gang simplifies the arrangements – no surprise there – but it’s notable that Sarah Ellquist, Daniel DeBlanke, Keith Boyarsky and Preston Scott Phillips arrived at a reasonable facsimile of the Radiohead album, all within 24 hours of its release. So, how did you spend your weekend?
