Fake Plastic Trees - Single

"Fake Plastic Trees" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released in May 1995 by Parlophone from their second album, The Bends (1995). It was the third single from The Bends in the UK and the first in the US. Radiohead recorded "Fake Plastic Trees" at RAK Studios, London, with the producer John Leckie. They struggled to settle on an arrangement, dismissing one version as "pompous and bombastic". The final version was influenced by the American singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley.
