"Sulk" sits on The Bends, Radiohead's second album, the record they started at RAK Studios in London in February 1994 with Parlophone pressing them to match the sales of "Creep". Work went slowly and tempers ran high; after a tour in May and June they picked it back up at Abbey Road and the Manor in Oxfordshire.

Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brien and Philip Selway share the writing credit, and John Leckie produced. Caroline Lavelle's cello and John Matthias on viola and violin bring strings into the band's sound, and Nigel Godrich is among the engineers: The Bends was his first Radiohead album, the start of a run that has taken in every one since. It's a record of guitar songs and ballads that reins in the arrangements and clouds the lyrics compared with Pablo Honey.
