Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Johnny Greenwood with Sons Of Kement's Tom Skinner are The Smile and, predictably, they're excellent.
The Smile will release their highly anticipated debut album A Light For Attracting Attention on 17 June, 2022 on XL Recordings.
The 13-track album was produced and mixed by Nigel Godrich and mastered by Bob Ludwig. Tracks feature strings by the London Contemporary Orchestra and a full brass section of contemporary UK jazz players including Byron Wallen, Theon and Nathaniel Cross, Chelsea Carmichael, Robert Stillman and Jason Yarde.
The band, comprising Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and Sons of Kemet’s Tom Skinner, have previously released the singles You Will Never Work in Television Again, The Smoke, and Skrting On The Surface to critical acclaim. The Smoke was also released as a dub remix by legendary reggae producer Dennis Bovell.
