The nameless lineup that became Atoms for Peace made its public debut at Los Angeles, California's Echoplex on October 2, 2009. <a href="spotify:artist:4CvTDPKA6W06DRfBnZKrau">Thom Yorke</a>, joined by longtime <a href="spotify:artist:4Z8W4fKeB5YxbusRsdQVPb">Radiohead</a> associate <a href="spotify:artist:0g7gHEXKEHU4snTwOZSxNO">Nigel Godrich</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:2f88S1uYsEwP0n4x36wvG7">Ultraísta</a>) and <a href="spotify:artist:0Xl5J6iOgiQHFqgri7TF8j">Flea</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:0L8ExT028jH3ddEcZwqJJ5">Red Hot Chili Peppers</a>), as well as session veterans Joey Waronker (also of <a href="spotify:artist:2f88S1uYsEwP0n4x36wvG7">Ultraísta</a>) and Mauro Refosco (<a href="spotify:artist:1d5AhAf2sRmgHlKiahyzcb">Forro in the Dark</a>), performed the entirety of <a href="spotify:artist:4CvTDPKA6W06DRfBnZKrau">Yorke</a>'s 2006 album The Eraser and some fresh material, including a song titled "Judge Jury and Executioner." Additional Los Angeles dates, a brief tour across the U.S., and an appearance at Coachella followed through 2010. By that point, they had named themselves Atoms for Peace -- the title of a track from The Eraser, named after a 1953 speech delivered by then-U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The first release to bear their name was a 300-copy 12" on the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%2250+Weapons%22">50 Weapons</a> label, released in July 2012; an Atoms for Peace remix of <a href="spotify:artist:3bw0A7x5AgdJsK20ai5iS6">Other Lives</a>' "Tamer Animals" appeared on the A-side, while the group's own "Other Side [Stuck Together Mix]" was on the B-side. Their first true single, "Default," followed that November on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22XL%22">XL</a>, with its parent album, the subdued yet rhythmically knotty Amok (including "Judge Jury and Executioner"), issued the following February. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi
