"Stop Whispering" is a single from English alternative rock band Radiohead, released as the band's fourth single in 1993. It is the fourth track of their first album, Pablo Honey (1993). It reached #23 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart in October 1993.[1]
"Stop Whispering" was released as the follow-up to "Creep" in Australia on 7 February 1994.[2] It peaked at #131 on the Australian ARIA singles chart.[3]
Background
The song was written as a tribute to the Pixies, a band that had an important influence over Radiohead at the time, hence the single CD art cover is similar to the Pixies' Surfer Rosa.[citation needed] "Stop Whispering" is also one of Radiohead's oldest songs; it was created when the band was still known as On A Friday, originally being on Dungeon Demo.[citation needed] The CD cover art was conceived by Peter Darley Miller and Radiohead.
