“It’s a much more pleasurable way of having your music come out rather than a digital file or swiping left and right on something like Spotify or Apple Music,” Greenwood said.

He continued: “It gives you a chance as an artist the chance to take music a bit further in terms of creativity and express how you feel about the music in physical, tangible form. It’s a bit like clothing, something that’s nice to dress the music up in.”

He went on to discuss the limited edition of A Moon Shaped Pool (pictured above), which was released in a casebound book and included a piece of the master tape. Greenwood also put in his two-pence on the timeless analogue v. digital sound quality argument. Listen to the interview below.
