Codex is one of the stand-out tracks on the new Radiohead record 'The King Of Limbs'. Cue a 'Nude' like vocal cutoff and piano reminiscent of 2001's 'Pyramid Song', Thom Yorke's strained vocals accentuate beautiful songwriting: 'Jump off the end/The water's clear/And innocent'.
The track is almost ominous with its dark, consistent keys and subtle, pacing drums. The underlying theme of nature on the album is present; a chorus of birds can be heard at the end of the song. Have a listen for yourself..
