‘The Gloaming’ was born when Radiohead recorded Kid A during the experimental electronica-only sessions in early 2000, when the band split into teams who worked on different things seperately. Colin and Jonny created an instrumental track, that would serve Thom much later as the basis for working out a melody. A version called ‘33.3 Recurring’, that most likely represents the state of work from the Kid A sessions, appeared on an EMI acetate disc in 2003, suggesting it was considered for b-side release.

Thom Yorke said before performing this song:
"The next song we’re gonna do is a song about the rise of fascism and the right wing. The only way to stop them is to do something. If you do nothing, they’ll win. And these people are fucking crazy."
The song's alternative title is "Softly Open Our Mouths in the Cold."
