"The Eraser" is a song by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, and the first track on his 2006 album of the same name. The piano chords heard throughout the song were sampled from a recording Yorke made of Radiohead bandmate Jonny Greenwood.[1]
The song has been remixed by Ellen Allien and Stretch'n'Vern. Yorke linked from the band's blog Dead Air Space to a video of clubgoers dancing to the latter mix during a set by DJ Sasha.
