About this track
“Bodysnatchers” is a song by English band Radiohead and is the second track on their 2007 album In Rainbows. The song was released alongside 
House of Cards as a promotional single and video from In Rainbows in late June 2008.
It was recorded in a live take that was made at a dilapidated mansion. Nigel Godrich, the producer of the album, thought that throwing the band into an “uncomfortable” situation would create an interesting atmosphere for the recording sessions, not unlike the OK Computer sessions that took place at the St. Catherine’s Court mansion in Bath. The band lived in caravans surrounding the mansion while the recordings were taking place.
Yorke has described the song as “a little bit like Neu! meets dodgy hippy rock. It sounds like that new Australian band Wolfmother.”
