"(Nice Dream)" sits on The Bends, Radiohead's second album, the record they started at RAK Studios in London in February 1994 with Parlophone leaning on them to match "Creep", and finished at Abbey Road and the Manor in Oxfordshire. The writing credit is split five ways, between Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and Philip Selway.
John Leckie produced it, and strings shade it in: Caroline Lavelle on cello, John Matthias on viola and violin. Nigel Godrich is among the engineers, on the album that began his long run with the band, and the mix passed through Leckie, the band, and Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade. The Bends as a whole mixes guitar songs with ballads, its arrangements more restrained and its lyrics more cryptic than on Pablo Honey.
