Radiohead’s new “Lotus Flower” music video, a song from their 2011 album “The King of Limbs,” is a masterful visualization of the band’s newest creation.

The video’s director Garth Jennings banished the usual complexity of music videos with multiple locations and scenes in favor of a high-contrast solo dance party by the band’s front man, Thom Yorke.

Jennings allowed Yorke’s invigorating visual performance of the song to speak for itself; a wise decision indeed.

The effective use of focus and aesthetic angles as the camera follows his impulsive and bizarre gyrations is mesmerizing. Inevitably the song progresses and expands, and Yorke burgeons with it. His movements become more erratic and expressive.

Momentum builds and the camera pans in further to capture Yorke’s hauntingly unique features as he articulates the music’s subtle emotion with clarity only someone with a resolute understanding of the song could muster.

Yorke’s impassioned dance moves invokes an unsettling sense of connection that is infinitely more satisfying than the excess shown in rap videos or the generic quality of staged acoustic productions. It is a beautifully raw expression of the music he is clearly so adamant about, and a video on its own in terms of simplicity and power.
