In September 2002, Radiohead moved to the Ocean Way Recording studios in Hollywood, Los Angeles, with longtime producer Nigel Godrich. The location was suggested by Godrich, who had used the studio to produce records by Travis and Beck and thought it would be a "good change of scenery" for Radiohead. Yorke said: "We were like, 'Do we want to fly halfway around the world to do this?' But it was terrific, because we worked really hard. We did a track a day. It was sort of like holiday camp."
