Hear Jonny Greenwood’s Inherent Vice version of Radiohead’s ‘Spooks’

Radiohead’s ‘Spooks’ was a briefly-showcased, blink-and-you-missed-it track from the band’s 2006 ‘In Rainbows’ sessions. Played live no more than a handful of times, it’s since re-emerged as the most high-profile track on guitarist Jonny Greenwood’s new soundtrack for Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘Inherent Vice’.

On the new version, streaming below, the original piece - written by all of Radiohead - has been fledged out into a duskier edit. Best of all, it features spoken word parts by Joanna Newsom, who makes a big contribution to the soundtrack. The track also features Gaz Coombes and Dany Goffey.

‘Inherent Vice’’s soundtrack is out 15th December via Nonesuch, with the film out the same month.

Listen below to ‘Spooks’.
