Radiohead.com unveils “The Radiohead Library,” an official band repository

On Monday, British rock band Radiohead rolled out arguably the most comprehensive one-stop website for a single band we’ve ever seen—and for an Internet-savvy band like Radiohead, that’s saying something.

The Radiohead Library, which can be found at the sensible URL of radiohead.com/library, includes nearly every official studio release since the band’s debut album Pablo Honey launched in 1993, along with much, much more. Full concerts, TV appearances, CD booklet art, long-lost promotional videos: they’re all here.

Whether you visit the site on a smartphone or desktop browser, it’s formatted to present each Radiohead era as a series of squares and rectangles. The top of the site includes generic, single-colored squares, which each represent a major studio album. Click any of them to reveal the album, its associated EPs and singles, and a scattershot assortment of official music videos, full concert recordings, and other audio and video samples from that album’s era. While you’re picking through each era, you may notice squares with T-shirt logos. Turns out, these link to reprints of classic tour shirts and merchandise from almost every Radiohead album, back on sale for the first time in years.
