"Stop Whispering" is a song by the English alternative rock band Radiohead, included on their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993). It was released as a single in the US in October 1993. Radiohead rerecorded it for the single release, as they were unsatisfied with the album version.
Radiohead recorded various demos of "Stop Whispering" while they were an unsigned band in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.[3] One version impressed the owner of another local studio, Chris Hufford, who became Radiohead's co-manager with his partner, Bryce Edge.[3]
Radiohead recorded "Stop Whispering" for their debut album, Pablo Honey (1993).[4] According to the co-producer, Paul Kolderie, "We tinkered with it a bit. It was kind of a sprawling thing and we weren't sure how long it would be."[3] Radiohead re-recorded "Stop Whispering" for the US single, as they were not happy with the album version. The guitarist Ed O'Brien said the new version was more atmospheric, likening it to Joy Division.[5]
"Stop Whispering" was the third single released from Pablo Honey. It was unsuccessful.[6] It reached number 23 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart in October 1993.[7] In Australia, it was released as the follow-up to Radiohead's debut single, "Creep", on 7 February 1994,[8] reaching number 131 on the Australian ARIA singles chart.[9] Jimmy Eat World covered the song on their EP Damage.[10]
