"House of Cards" (Updated with link to hi-res QuickTime version)

Video: Radiohead: "House of Cards" (Updated with link to hi-res QuickTime version)

Well, it's here, and it does not disappoint. Check the Pitchfork news story that ran last week for details on how this thing was made, then check the video itself-- it's something.

Update: This weekend, while we were busy at our festival, Thom Yorke posted this to Dead Air Space:

"so as you may know we have completed a video for the song- it has been in the land of google, and now also if you want to download a higher quality version without the internet streaming pixellation squash and enjoy it on whatever screen appliance, click here to download.

it was a strange experience, sitting in front of a lazer in the dark, then emailing back an forth with James the director as he sat in front of computers for a whole month with the amazing technicians who processed the data etc.. but it says something about the song and came out better than i had dared hope.

Thom"

It's a zipped file containing an 86MB QuickTime movie, so resolution is indeed high-- could be worth a download:

Update No. 2: Watch the high-res version here via Pitchfork.tv:

[from In Rainbows; out now on ATO in the U.S., MapleMusic in Canada, XL in the UK, and Hostess Entertainment in Japan]
