Thom Yorke has some rad lib borderline green fash politics but I think it’s cool that someone like him is inspired by Disco Elysium. In a BBC interview he says this song was inspired by Disco Elysium. If he was more based it would be cool but he’s not.
“The song Bloom was actually inspired by an “indie” game, they have a subgenre of games called indie games now faces to Jonny remember that we used to be indie (he laughs) no but the artist for our album covers showed me some paintings which I thought were really cool and I asked him ‘what about these right here?’ and he said they weren’t his but they were some prints by some artists working on a video game. At first I wasn’t interested, I just thought games were just, I don’t know… boring (laughs) but no I was proven wrong when I played Disco Elysium. The music is great, the art, the story, characters are really really funny too and I had a good time, didn’t finish it but for the few hours I did play I was really into it. One of the motifs on a track stuck out to me and using inspiration from that track that’s how Bloom came into existence. So thanks guys, the Disco team. Great stuff”
