[button style=’blue’ icon=’iconic-cd’ fullwidth=’true’]Sa participation dans le groupe[/button]

Thomas Edward Yorke est né le 7 octobre 1968 à Wellingborough dans le Northamptonshire. Il est le chanteur et leader du groupe Radiohead. Il vit à Oxford, Angleterre. Il a été en couple pendant 23 ans avec Rachel Owen, une artiste peintre rencontrée à l’université d’Exeter, avec qui il a deux enfants  : Noah et Agnes Mair. Ils se sont séparés à l’été 2015. Il travaille également sur d’autres projets parallèles.

Voix (et quelle voix ! ), guitare, piano… et d’autres instruments.

[button style=’blue’ icon=’iconic-cd’ fullwidth=’true’] Jeunesse [/button]

Né avec la paupière de son œil gauche paralysée, Thom subit cinq opérations pendant ses cinq premières années. Il porte même pendant un an un bandeau… Ses camarades de classe le surnomment « la salamandre ».

[quote cite=’Vox, février 1996′]Salamander, cos my eyes are wonky. I didn’t like it. I got into a fight with the guy who originated the name, but that didn’t stop it. It was a very malicious school and everyone had malicious nicknames, so Salamander was par for the course.
[/quote]

Le métier de son père, physicien de formation, plus tard vendeur en produits chimiques, a amené la petite famille (Thom a un frère cadet) à bouger régulièrement, en Ecosse, puis dans l’Oxfordshire en 1978.

Ancien champion universitaire de boxe, le père de Thom a essayé d’initier ses fils à ce sport… mais ça n’a pas trop pris…

[quote cite=’Rolling Stone, septembre 1995′]His father sold chemical-engineering equipment and was a champion university boxer. “One of the first things he ever bought me was a pair of boxing gloves,” says Yorke. “He used to try to teach me to box, but whenever he hit me, I’d fall flat on my ass.

[/quote]

 

A 7 ans, Thom Yorke connait sa première aventure amoureuse !

[quote cite=’Vox, février 1996′]Losing my virginity was a lot less spectacular than having my first French kiss. I was seven, she was my first girlfriend .We were in the playground and we promised to get married straight afterwards. But then I moved away from Scotland , where I lived, and never saw her again. I was hoping she’d come to our gig there the other night, but she didn’t. She probably doesn’t remember me at all, but I remember her. Her name was Kate Ganson, and her dad had a great Lotus car. But losing my virginity was very disappointing. There was lots of mess and horribleness. [/quote]

Quand il a 8 ans, la famille se base à Oxford. A la même époqie, il commence la guitare. Le guitariste Brian May du groupe Queen, qu’il a vu à la télé,  lui a donné l’envie d’être musicien. Ses parents lui font alors cadeau d’une guitare acoustique.

[quote cite=’Select, mai 1993′]“First of all I wanted to be Brian May.” Uh- oh! “I went into a guitar lesson when I was eight and said, I wanna be a pop star…” [/quote]

Il n’est au départ par très doué…

[quote cite=’MTV, janvier 2013′]I had to cheat with the neck on the guitar,” he admitted. “I found an old—somewhere a neighbor gave me a neck of an electric guitar. I was like, “Great, okay, that’s good.” But you know, I was 10 or 11, so I was trying to like bolt it together to this other piece of wood that I’d cut out and it was just a disaster. But it kind of worked, but it was ugly.”

source : http://www.mtv.com/news/2698551/thom-yorke-alec-baldwin-interview/ [/quote]

 

Il rejoint son premier groupe à l’âge de onze ans alors qu’il fréquente une école privée pour garçons à Abingdon, où il rencontrera les futurs membres du groupe Radiohead. C’est d’ailleurs à 12 ans qu’il écrit sa première chanson : “’mushroom clouds’”. Elle parlait de ce à quoi avait du ressembler les explosions atomiques, mais pas du tout de ses effets.

 

A 13 ans, il avait formé le groupe punk TNT, dans lequel on retrouve déjà Colin Greenwood. Il y devenu chanteur un peu par hasard, et s’est même peroxydé les cheveux  :

[quote ]”I Started singing into this little stereo mike tied to the end of a broomstick handle. Everyone just started falling about laughing, and that was that (…) that was my introduction to singing”.[/quote]

 

[quote cite=’The Observer, Interview du 18 juin 2006 ‘]At the age of seven, inspired by Queen’s Brian May, he got his mitts on his first guitar, and at 13, he dyed his hair for the first time, flirting with peroxide blonde, black and ginger.[/quote]

 

En 1987 il rencontre Ed O’Brien et retrouve Colin Greenwood. Le nouveau groupe, nommé On a Friday car le vendredi était pour eux le seul jour de répétition possible, est ensuite complété par le batteur Phil Selway, accompagné par le frère cadet de Colin, Jonny Greenwood.

Il n’aime pas particulièrement l’école, mais la support, surtout pour son département musique :

[quote ]”School was bearable for me because the music department was separate from the rest of the school. It had pianos in tiny booths, and I used to spend a lot of time hanging around there after school. ( article d’Alex Ross, 21 août 2001 :  “The Searchers: Radiohead’s unquiet revolution” )”[/quote]

Thom intègre ensuite l’université d’Exeter, où il étudie l’anglais et l’art. Les membres continuent à répéter alors qu’ils sont dispersés dans des universités différentes. À cette époque, Yorke joue dans le groupe Headless Chickens, et dans un groupe vaguement techno : Flickernoise. Il s’engage dans plein de petits boulots : dans un hôpital psychiatrique, vendeur de fringe, DJ dans le club The Lemon Grove d’Exeter (lors de soirées étudiantes)…. Il rencontre à Exeter Stanley Donwood qui collaborera avec Radiohead par la suite.

C’est aussi à cette époque qu’il fut victime d’un accident de voiture et que sa haine des transports mécaniques commença, et qu’il rencontra une étudiante qui devient ensuite sa compagne et la mère de ses enfants : Rachel Owen.

[button style=’blue’ icon=’iconic-cd’ fullwidth=’true’] Et le succès vint ! [/button]

En 1991, tous les membres d’On A Friday sont de retour à Oxford. Les études sont terminées (ou interrompues). Ils signent chez Parlophone et changent de nom pour Radiohead. Ces prémices du groupe ne sont pas bien glorieux pour Thom, qui a du mal à se trouver. Les premières chansons du groupe, sur Pablo Honey,  retranscrivent souvent ce mal-être… Creep, et les coupes de cheveux complétement folles de l’époque en sont une parfaite illustration !

[quote ]”(He) hit the self-destruct button pretty quickly”; he would drink heavily, which resulted in him randomly cutting his hair off and being too drunk to perform onstage”[/quote]

yorke

Thom Yorke avouera un peu plus tard qu’il avait laissé son ego se gonfler…. En 1993 pourtant, Creep offre un succès planétaire à Radiohead.

Le groupe propose The Bends en 1995. Radiohead est invité par le label Parlophone à assurer les premières parties aux Etats-Unis d’un groupe en plein succès : R.E.M.  La rencontre entre Thom Yorke et Michaël Stipe, le chanteur de R.E.M. va être décisive ! Le second va en effet conseiller le premier sur de nombreux points : comment s’habiller, comment se débrouiller avec les nombreuses demandes que reçoivent un groupe de rock, comment faire passer le stress…

Spin.com, How Michael Stipe Taught Thom Yorke to Be a Frontman

[quote ]Yorke recalls that he first saw R.E.M. live in 1989, and tells RS he learned a huge amount on the road when Radiohead served as an opening act during the Monster tour. “He would mumble this crap between songs, like he was talking backwards,” Yorke says of Stipe. “He wasn’t even attempting to be like, ‘Hey, everybody, how ya doing?’ It was this completely evasive thing. But at no point did you ever get the sense he was running away. Everything was just going into that, onto the stage.”

Stipe’s way of distancing himself in order to throw his whole being into the performance makes sense to Yorke now. “The things he was choosing not to do, not to be, were even more powerful than what he did,” Yorke tells RS. “There was this air of deliberately a little fucked up… I liked that.”[/quote]

Thom et Michael en 1995 :

stipeyorke

Journal de tournée écrit par Thom en 1995 pour le magazine Q :

[quote ]“First gig with R.E.M. Mr. Stipe comes in before the show to say hello. ‘Hi, I’m Michael. I’m really glad you could do this. I’m a very big fan.’ Wonder how many times I will run this through my brain after today. I’ve never believed in hero worship and so on, but I have to admit to myself that I’m fighting for breath. I’ve had moments in the past two years when time has completely curved and space became a Hitchcock camera trick. At these moments, barriers seem to break in my head and I never see anything in the same way again. And for days and days all I want to do is run around jumping into people’s earshot waving my hands up and down like Bjork and pulling faces. This is one of those moments.”

“Feel 50 feet tall. Shit Shit Shit, this is R.E.M. and they really like us. No I mean they REALLY like us, they’re not just being nice. When someone you really admire gives you something you like that, your shoulders get a little lighter, you feel a little stronger, forever.”

[/quote]

En 1996-1997, le groupe commence à s’émanciper. Les sessions d’enregistrement d’OK Computer sont aussi douloureuse qu’importantes. Chacun membre de Radiohead a la parole, mais à la fin, c’est Thom qui tranche. Il est devenu le leader.  Le troisième album du groupe est un véritable succès, mais Thom a du mal à l’accepter. Il ne sait pas quoi en penser. Ses interrogations sont retranscrites dans la video Meeting People Is Easy.

Le même Michael Stipe sera également présent pour aider Thom dans ses heures sombres après la sortie d’OK Computer.

 

[button style=’blue’ icon=’iconic-cd’ fullwidth=’true’] L’engagement politique [/button]

A partir de cette époque, Thom Yorke n’hésite plus à partager ses idées politiques avec ses fans et avec les journalistes.

L’album Kid A contient parfois un livret caché avec des textes clairement anti-Blair et anti-capitaliste.

Thom Yorke on politics, Matt Kenard, novembre 2008

[quote ]His accent is non-descript, neither posh or demotic, and his thoughts are scattergun. He pulls himself from one topic to another by just following any burning idea that fires in his brain at that moment. But for a man who has been the recipient of so much unbridled adulation, Yorke is arrestingly humble. He speaks without bluster or bombast, but there’s an intensity and seriousness befitting an activist.

His political activism – “I wouldn’t call it that,” he hits back – has sprouted into a hydra of campaigning lyrics and op-ed articles in newspapers over the past five years. The interface of politics and aesthetics has been a vexed one for a long period, for Yorke and others.[/quote]

Les albums suivants ont tous des graphismes et des paroles très engagées. Thom Yorke partage régulièrement ses combats sur le blog du groupe, le Dead Air Space.

Yorke s’est engagé pour le commerce équitable, pour Amnesty International, CND, les Amis de la Terre, la protection animale (il est végétarien) et surtout Greenpeace, ONG qu’il soutient depuis plusieurs années. Il a joué pour le Tibet en 1999, est allé à la conférence sur le climat de Copenhague en 2009.

Thom+Yorke+no+star+wars

[button style=’blue’ icon=’iconic-cd’ fullwidth=’true’] La motivation revient [/button]

En 2000, Radiohead décide de changer de cap, de flirter avec l’électro et sort Kid A, grosse surprise pour les fans. L’influence de Thom Yorke y est énorme. Ses goûts personnels le portent en effet vers le monde du DJ-ing. En 2001, il a invité par exemple DJ Christoph de Babalon à ouvrir pour Radiohead à Vaison la Romaine, en 2003 Four Tet…

Cette affirmation musicale va de pair avec une vie de famille comblée. Thom et Rachel Owen, sa compagne, ont deux enfants. Le premier Noah, né en 2000, est salué dans l’album Kid A.

 

[button style=’blue’ icon=’iconic-cd’ fullwidth=’true’] Un peu de solo… [/button]

En 2006, Thom annonce son premier album solo, The Eraser. Son amour pour l’electro y triomphe plus librement qu’au sein de Radiohead, où chaque membre a ses propres vues… Mais cela ne signifie pas qu’il quitte ou renie Radiohead.

 

The Guardian, 2006 :

[quote ]”I want no crap about me being a traitor or whatever splitting up blah blah… this was all done with their blessing.”[/quote]

Le succès est au rendez-vous. L’album The Eraser se classe 3ème des ventes en Angleterre dès sa première semaine, 2ème aux Etats-Unis, au Canada, en Australie, 9ème en Irlande. Des nominations tombent pour le Mercury prize ou les Grammy award.  Cela encourage Thom a poursuivre en parallèle dans cette voie.

Il collabore avec Modeselektor et chante sur le titre The white flash de l’album Happy Birthday! en 2007, puis en 2011 sur les titres Shipwreck et This de l’album Monkeytown. En 2010, il interprète …And the World Laughs with You sur l’album Cosmogramma de Flying Lotus.

[button style=’blue’ icon=’iconic-cd’ fullwidth=’true’] La crise de la quarantaine[/button]

Au tournant des années 2000-2010, Thom Yorke fait une “mini crise de la quarantaine”. Il se plait à intervenir dans des sets DJ un peu partout, avec des artistes comme Doom ou Flying Lotus à qui il demande de remixer ses titres ou ceux de Radiohead…

Il est alors régulièrement accusé par des “artistes” d’être impoli, comme par Miley Cyrus qui se déclare peinée en 2009 d’avoir été snobbée lors d’une soirée…

En 2009, Thom se créé une  nouvelle formation : Atoms for Peace avec des artistes qu’il aime bien : Flea (le bassiste des Red Hot Chili Peppers), Nigel Godrich (le producteur de Radiohead), Joey Waronker (batteur qu’on a vu avec Beck & R.E.M. ) et Mauro Refosco . Quelques concerts sont donnés par ci-par là, jusqu’à la sortie le 18 février 2013 d’un album AMOK suivie d’une longue tournée partout en Europe.

Le succès étant au rendez-vous, Thom Yorke commence à parler de Radiohead avec plus de nuance…

En octobre 2014, alors que l’actualité de Radiohead et de Thom est au calme, c’est avec surprise qu’on apprend la sortie du second album solo de Thom.

Closer – Quasimoto & Madvillain

What It Look Like – Spank Rock

commentaires sur les chansons pré-citées :

“Horse and I” (Track 1) : “natasha khan of bat for lashes ain’t scared. i love the harpsichord and the sexual ghost voices and bowed saws. this song seems to come from the world of grimm’s fairytales, and i feel like a wolf.”

“Silikon (Featuring Sasha Perera)” (Track 2) : “Hello Mom ! break this. into your drink. then stir it. drink down in one go. then go out. for conspicuous consumers everywhere. ’should a known he’d leave you for that little hooker heather.’ oh yeah. Modeselektor are genius. no-one has ever cut up a voice like this.”

“Raid” (Track 3) : “i’d play this on the radio and get your moving your ass in a traffic jam 1st thing in the morning . . . if i was a dj, which i’m not. some people know how to sample. some people know how to rap. but then there’s those who show you how it’s really done . . . like these guys. produced by quasimoto.”

“I’ve Hardly Been” (Track 4) : “genius non-generic nutville not rock music. should have been a hit. i guess this compilation is POP music – at least it is to me . . . with the best guitar solo that never happened . . . ”

“Scorn” (Track 5) : “this is like the storms that await us in our future. i found Surgeon after OK Computer, it is the true sound of post-rave darkness. this is an early one from my favorite bits of vinyl, Basictonalvocabulary.”

“No Hope Before Destruction” (Track 6) : “i heard this a while ago and it has stuck in my head ever since. the way the voice comes in and your speakers freak out. and what he’s saying. it sounds all soppy, oh but then all hell breaks loose. i don’t know much else by them.”

“Skuff’d” (Track 7) : “i love this record because of the lizard bass sound. i don’t know nothing about it. turn the drum machine on.”

“Closer” (Track 8) : “quasimoto and madvillain have done some amazing records. madvillain has the best rhymes . . . nursery rhymes mixed with stream of consciousness and venim and straight observation that read like poems. and quasimoto’s way of constructing tracks is like nothing else.”

“Drum Gets a Glimpse” (Track 9) : “more terror from the subconscious. i love LIARS. they make records that are as good as my favorite records. records that make you think what the f- is this ? and then you fall head over heels for it. this and Spank Rock’s YoYoYoYoYoYo are my fav records last year.”

“What It Look Like” (Track 10) : “when this record came out last year, it cut through all the sh*t for me. it was like a slap ’round the face. the computers speaking over their reference points and pointing to something brand new. turn it up. night night.”

[accordion title=”PLAYLIST – 1997″]1997

Fin décembre, le magazine Mojo a interrogé Thom et Colin concernant leur goûts musicaux du moment.

Thom : « Five of my favorite records from this year : Laika, ’sounds of the satellites’. They toured with us and deserve more recognition ; ’Portishead’ by Portishead. This is their second album. It is better than the first. I love them… Lee ’Scratch’ Perry’s ’Arkology’. This counts doesn’t it ? My favourite thing is listening to it while looking at photos of the studio before it burnt down. Guided By Voices, ’Mag Earwhig’. The only band who have sussed recording and are happy to make things as long as my limited attention span will allow. Reminds me of Pixies’ ’Surfer Rosa’. Also Dr Octagon, ’Octagynecologist’. Blue flowers is my favourite song of this year. Not sure about the sex stuff, but the rhymes shit all over the lyrics I’ve written. »
