In 2004, after finishing the tour for their sixth album, Hail to the Thief (2003) , Radiohead went on hiatus. Radiohead's songwriter, Thom Yorke, began recording The Eraser, his first solo release, with Radiohead's producer, Nigel Godrich, in late 2004. Work continued throughout 2005 between Radiohead sessions. [1] The album was recorded in Radiohead's Oxford studio, Yorke's home, and Godrich's studio at the Hospital Club, London. [2] The Eraser comprises electronic music Yorke recorded between his work with Radiohead in 2004 and 2005. The lyrics express his political concerns. " Harrowdown Hill" concerns the death of the British weapons inspector David Kelly, and several songs reference climate change. The cover art, by Radiohead's longtime collaborator Stanley Donwood, was inspired by the legend of King Canute failing to command the ocean, which Yorke likened to government climate policies.

Funny off kilter piano lines. "Hey, I've got this new piano line but I want people to think I'm original.""Hm, have you tried recording it to CD and scratching the disc up real bad and seeing how that sounds?""No, I haven't, thanks Aphex Twin for the advice which I'll borrow until I can think on my own for a minute."

[3] The Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood said: "He had to get this stuff out, and everyone was happy [for Yorke to make it] ... He'd go mad if every time he wrote a song it had to go through the Radiohead consensus." [4] Godrich said that working with Yorke alone was more straightforward than working with Radiohead, as he did not have to manage the relationship between Yorke and the other band members. [5] On The Eraser, he and Yorke were able to "pull in the same direction". [6] The Eraser was followed by a B-sides compilation EP, Spitting Feathers (2006), and a remix album, The Eraser Rmxs (2008). In 2009, to perform the Eraser material live, Yorke formed a new band, Atoms for Peace, with musicians including Godrich and the Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea.a b "Ranking Radiohead Solo Albums, from 'ANIMA' To 'Weatherhouse' ".
