Jon Hopkins has shared a haunting piano cover of ‘Dawn Chorus’ – taken from Thom Yorke‘s recent solo album, ‘Anima’.
Recorded in one take on the piano he has owned since childhood, the new offering sees Hopkins providing a melancholic transformation of the Radiohead frontman’s original.
“I felt such bliss the first time I heard this piece – it seemed so mysterious and hypnotic, oblique but warm,” Hopkins explained.

“I thought there was so much beauty in that chord sequence that there was room to explore it on the piano and see what grew from it. One day in early April when everything was particularly quiet and surreal outside, I went into my studio for the first time in weeks and ended up recording the whole thing in one take.
