Thom Yorke Illustrates Alienation In ‘Last I Heard’ Video: Watch

Thom Yorke continues to capture the anxious feeling his latest solo album ANIMA exudes with the video for "Last I Heard (…He Was Circling the Drain)."

The black and white visuals show what it feels like to be isolated and alienated despite living in a crowded city. The Art Camp and Saad Moosajee-directed clip comprises thousands of hand-illustrated frames that were inspired by Yorke’s dreams, and the result is surreal, uneasy picture.

“Our first and last goal was to serve the feelings of the song and the record. Thom shared a list of visions with us, disconnected images from his dreams, and we expanded on it with visions from everyone who joined the video team, over a dozen of us,” Art Camp said in a statement. “At its core, our intention was to communicate the experience of feeling completely on your own, surrounded by people you see yourself in but don’t understand, who have lost their minds to the city and can’t see that you need their help.”

The Radiohead frontman just finished up the 2019 installment of his Tomorrow's Modern Boxes tour and plans to head back on the road early next year. Check out a full list of dates here.
