Just Radiohead — The Bends

Available · one owner only

Archive note

A reimagined promotion for Radiohead's 1995 album The Bends, presented as a lost MTV Europe broadcast or music television special from the mid-90s. The band is arranged in repose across a concrete floor in formal wear, rendered in black-and-white photography with a deliberately composed, almost sculptural quality. Collects signage from VH1 Classic, Channel 4 Music, and Kerrang! suggests a multi-platform UK media push that never materialized. Artifacts of this kind appeal to collectors of suppressed alternative-rock ephemera and those tracking phantom MTV programming windows.
