My Iron Lung

My Iron Lung is the third EP by the English rock band Radiohead, released on 26 September 1994 by Parlophone Records in the UK and by Capitol Records in the US. It was produced by Radiohead, John Leckie and Nigel Godrich. It comprises the single "My Iron Lung" and various B-sides, recorded while Radiohead were working on their second album, The Bends, released the following year. Radiohead wrote "My Iron Lung" in response to the success of their debut single, "Creep", which had both sustained and constrained them. Unsatisfied with the version recorded at RAK Studios, they used an edited performance recorded in May 1994 at the London Astoria. My Iron Lung marked Radiohead's first collaborations with Godrich and the artist Stanley Donwood, who have worked on every Radiohead release since. The "My Iron Lung" single reached number 24 on the UK singles chart, and was included on The Bends. Critics likened its verse-chorus dynamic to the 1993 Nirvana song "Heart-Shaped Box". Retrospective reviews described it as a growth in Radiohead's songwriting.
