High and Dry

The track was first recorded in 1993 during sessions for the Drill EP and later included on The Bends. It was produced by Jim Warren with Radiohead, separate from the main The Bends sessions with John Leckie. Released as a single in 1995, it became one of the songs that broadened Radiohead audience beyond Creep during The Bends campaign. The single reached number 17 on the UK Singles Chart and number 78 on the Billboard Hot 100. It remains one of Radiohead most widely recognized early songs, despite the band later distancing themselves from it. The track has endured through radio play, acoustic covers and its place as a gateway to the band mid 1990s catalogue.
