Stanley Donwood: There Will Be No Quiet
Information
An idiosyncratic memoir and visual monograph of Radiohead’s prolific cover artist, documenting his career in image making. The book, which I developed with Donwood over a three year period, is an intertwining of his paintings, digital works and sketchbooks with a 60,000 word chronicle of his working life and practice, designed as if two very different books – a traditional art catalogue and an anarchic, gnostic text – have been gathered and bound together.

A limited edition of There Will Be No Quiet was produced in an edition of 500 available exclusively from Volume. The image pages of this version are 20% bigger than the bookshop edition, further exaggerating the friction between the book’s visual and biographical elements. The clothbound package features pen drawings from Donwood’s sketchbooks kept around the time he was producing artwork for Radiohead’s 5th album, Amnesiac.
