All three of these men should require absolutely no introduction, but are most deserving of all recognition, especially after this recent collaboration for the 10th Anniversary of Lex Records. Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood only increase their prolific influence on the modern music world by collaborating to produce the beat for “Retarded Fren,” which is graced by the notoriously unique flow of masked rapper/all-around obscure figure DOOM. Anchored by a ridiculously sleazy groove that conjures up images of Greenwood’s work on the “There Will Be Blood” soundtrack, one could imagine the film’s pure evil protagonist of Daniel Plainview participating in some mammoth brooding while jamming to this track. DOOM is also at the peak of his game, laying down references to Centrum Vitamins while making sure to solidify his image as a super villain. With these three, the possibilities are boundless.
You can stream the track now over at Lex Records.
