History
Atoms for Peace first performed "Judge, Jury and Executioner" on their US tour in October 2009 and April 2010.[2] It was released as a download on January 7, 2013, after its broadcast on BBC Radio 1.[3] Fans who pre-ordered the album could download the song free. A music video by Tarik Barri was released simultaneously.[1] The limited vinyl version of the single, with an accompanying b-side "S.A.D." was released on March 19, 2013.[1] A live video of the song, recorded at Fuji Rock Festival, was released on the Atoms for Peace website.[4]
The song shares its name with the subtitle of a Radiohead song, "Myxomatosis", released on the 2003 album Hail to the Thief. Yorke said this was accidental, and that he had forgotten he had used the phrase before.[5]
Reception
The song generally met with positive reviews, despite being likened to Yorke's other work. Will Hermes of
