Radiohead bassist Colin Greenwood has spoken to NME about putting together his new photo book How To Disappear, and what might lay ahead for the band after their recent reunion.Published this week via John Murray Press, How To Disappear marks Greenwood’s first book and was two decades in the making – capturing candid moments of Radiohead’s journey from 2003 up until their latest album, 2016’s ‘A Moon Shaped Pool‘.

Alongside the bassists’ images, the book also features a lengthy essay telling the band’s story and reflecting on their journey so far.“It’s a really beautiful object, and I think people will appreciate that because it’s made to the same exacting standard as books by some of my favourite fine art photographers – people like Paul Graham,” Greenwood told NME. “I think it tells a nice story about how five guys from Oxfordshire got together and worked on songs in various village halls, then managed to get that to stages around the world.”Naturally, Colin’s brother Jonny is the member that appears in the book the most – with the bassist arguing that as well as their relationship lending itself to a natural shoot, the Radiohead guitarist was always the most willing of all to have his photo taken.“My brother is a craven lens seeker!

Not just with me – with anyone!” said Colin. “We’ll sometimes do group photos for magazines and they’ll put Thom [Yorke] at the front, but my brother has quite sharp elbows and will just make sure that everyone can see him.

I don’t know why he lets me take his picture so much. I don’t think he really cares, either way.”And would his brother argue with that?“Poor Colin,” Jonny told NME, while recently telling us about The Smile‘s new album ‘Cutouts‘.
