Kid A is the fourth album by the English rock band Radiohead, released on October 2, 2000 in the United Kingdom and on October 3, 2000 in the United States and Canada. A commercial success worldwide,[2] Kid A went platinum in its first week of release in the UK.[3] Despite the lack of an official single or video as publicity, Kid A became the first Radiohead release to debut at #1 in the US.[4] This success was credited variously to a unique marketing campaign, the early Internet leak of the album,[5] or anticipation after the band's 1997 album, OK Computer.[6]
Kid A was recorded in Paris, Copenhagen, Gloucestershire and Oxford with producer Nigel Godrich. The album's songwriting and recording were experimental for Radiohead,[7] as the band replaced their earlier "anthemic" rock style with a more electronic sound.[8] Influenced by Krautrock,[9] jazz,[10] and 20th century classical music,[11] Radiohead abandoned their three-guitar lineup for a wider range of instruments on Kid A, using keyboards, the Ondes martenot, and, on certain compositions, strings and brass.[9] Kid A also contains more minimal and abstract lyrics than the band's previous work.[12] Singer Thom Yorke has said the album was not intended as "art", but reflects the music they listened to at the time.[13] Original artwork by Stanley Donwood and Yorke, and a series of short animated films called "blips", accompanied the album.
Kid A has been considered one of the more challenging pop records to have commercial success,[14] and it polarised opinion among both fans and critics.[7] The album won a Grammy for Best Alternative Album and was nominated for Album of the Year. It also received praise for introducing listeners to diverse forms of underground music.[7]
