Belgian chamber ensemble Echo Collective — the duo of Neil Leiter and Margaret Hermant — bring their deep classical training to bear on one of Radiohead's most experimental and haunting records. Released in 2018 on the 7k! label, Echo Collective Plays Amnesiac reimagines the 2001 Radiohead album through intimate orchestral arrangements, demonstrating the duo's remarkable ability to bridge the worlds of classical music and contemporary alternative music.
What makes this release so compelling is how faithfully yet freshly Echo Collective interpret each track, finding new emotional dimensions within familiar songs. Thom Yorke's melodies are reimagined through strings, violin, and clarinet, transforming the album's brooding, leftfield atmosphere into something cinematic and deeply affecting — with standout moments like a jaunty, percussion-driven "Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box" and a sweeping, seven-minute meditation combining "Hunting Bears" and "Like Spinning Plates."
