Atoms for Peace was a supergroup built around Radiohead's Thom Yorke and longtime producer Nigel Godrich, with Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, drummer Joey Waronker (R.E.M., Beck) and percussionist Mauro Refosco. A lineup deep enough that "Reverse Running," off their sole album AMOK, glides on live jazz-funk grooves under Yorke's glitchy electronic production. The band grew out of the touring group Yorke put together in 2009 to play his 2006 solo album The Eraser, which makes their combined pedigree, Radiohead plus the Chili Peppers, one of the more stacked lineups in modern alternative rock. Though AMOK (2013) is still their only studio album, most of the members reunited on stage in 2018, and Yorke and Refosco are both on 'Traffic Lights' from Flea's 2026 solo album Honora.
