While Radiohead was in San Francisco for their OK Computer tour in 1997, Thom went in to the studio with DJ Shadow and co-wrote and recorded 'Rabbit in Your Headlights' for James Lavelle's UNKLE album, Psyence Fiction.

This recording is a collaboration between Thom Yorke [lyrics and vocals] , James Lavelle and DJ Shadow for the U.N.K.L.E. - project. Thom Yorke recorded his contribution before the success of OK Computer. Lavelle said: "I've always wanted to bring together the different types of music that I've grown up on, to intertwine them to create something that people my age can get into." The song, which was recorded in San Francisco. James Lavelle is also an established artist in his own right, remixing some of the finest records around including Radiohead's Planet Telex. In his capacity as a DJ, James played support on both the Verve and Radiohead's 1997 UK tours. Meanwhile his U.N.K.L.E collaborator DJ Shadow played a live set of his own tracks as the main support to Radiohead on the same tour.

The song is bone-chilling good and has an awesome video directed by Jonathan Glazer (Karma Police, Street Spirit).

This track is very... very eerie, but there's definitely something there. Something powerful. It's mainly piano driven, but lots of DJ type skillz I'm sure have gone into it too. There are 6 mixes available on the UK single.
