Interpreting the Themes and Metaphors in 'House of Cards' by Radiohead

Our season long dissection of Radiohead's In Rainbows continues with an analysis of "House of Cards" - an immersive, reverb-soaked musing on the nature of desire and escape. We'll also cover the musical oddities in the track, including Jonny Greenwood's infamous "coin trick" on guitar and even the rumored dog barks in the background of the verses.
