Strings were recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London. The band used unconventional production techniques, including natural reverberation through recording on a staircase, and no audio separation.

The album's lyrics depict a world fraught with rampant consumerism, social alienation, emotional isolation and political malaise in this capacity, OK Computer has been said to have prescient insight into the mood of 21st-century life. OK Computer's abstract lyrics, densely layered sound and eclectic influences laid the groundwork for Radiohead's later, more experimental work. The band distanced themselves from the guitar-centred, lyrically introspective style of their previous album, The Bends. Radiohead recorded most of OK Computer in their rehearsal space in Oxfordshire and the historic mansion of St Catherine's Court in Bath in 1996 and early 1997. Radiohead self-produced the album with Nigel Godrich, an arrangement they have used for their subsequent albums.

OK Computer is the third studio album by the English rock band Radiohead, released in Japan on and in the UK on 16 June 1997.
