The Swingles - 15 Step (Radiohead A Cappella Cover) - Matchstick Sessions

Our new video comes courtesy of one of our favourite British exports: Radiohead. The eerie beauty and complexity of their music makes it a challenge to arrange and a thrill to sing. This song appeared on Radiohead’s 2007 album In Rainbows — though you may also know it from the first Twilight film! For our a cappella version of 15 Step we use live looping to build up a densely layered arrangement, taking inspiration from playground clapping songs, breakbeat and big band jazz along the way. Thanks as ever to our #SwingleSquad on Patreon for making this video possible. 15 STEP Written by Radiohead Arranged by Edward Randell Recorded and mixed by Hugh Walker Video directed by Tom Edkins Step Choreography by Jon Smith Camera assistant: James Barrett Filmed at Matchstick Piehouse, London SE8
