After the tour ended in 2010, the band spent three days jamming and recording original material in a Los Angeles studio. Describing his role in the sessions as "conducting", Yorke would show the band electronic music he had created and they would recreate it with live instruments.
He said: "The music I do on my laptop is so angular. When you get people to play like that, it's so peculiar. Most of it, technically speaking, they can play. But there were times when we used the electronic sounds, because it was more brittle, more exciting ... One of the things we were most excited about was ending up with a record where you weren't quite sure where the human starts and the machine ends."
Yorke and producer Nigel Godrich edited and arranged the recordings from the sessions over the course of two years.

Atoms for Peace Lyrics
Amok A penny for your thoughts my love A penny for your…
Before Your Very Eyes... Look out of the window What's passing you by If you really…
Default It slipped my mind And for a time I felt completely free Oh…
Dropped It slipped Out of my hands Went deep down Wandering Stumblin…
Ingenue You know like the back of your hand Who let 'em…
Judge Jury And Executioner Don't worry, baby It goes right through me I'm like the wind…
Reverse Running I'm in reverse running Doesn't mean anything Hurling headlon…
Stuck Together Pieces Our stuck together pieces The joke is I don't need this You…
Unless Careless I couldn't care less Careless I couldn't care less …
