The release of a new Radiohead album is greeted in certain circles as a kind of holy occasion, a time to drop everything else going on in your life and commence Deep Listening. We have not witnessed such a hallowed event since 2016, when Radiohead dropped A Moon Shaped Pool, and a new album after such a wait sure would be welcome. Sometimes, though, it’s nice to see what the members of a great band can do when working outside such weighty expectations. That’s the story of the Smile, the excellent side band…

Three songs into the second album by the Smile, Thom Yorke informs us that he’s had it. “It takes away, it takes the fun out,” he keens, to Read the Room’s vinegary guitar riff. “Maybe I can’t be arsed.” Long-term observers of Yorke’s songwriting might also greet this with a shrug. For decades, his lyrics have mapped out an overcast emotional territory bordered by fear, anger, despair and ennui. So it is on Wall of Eyes. There are twitchy songs inhabited by nameless sources of dread, suggestions that something terrible is…

When The Smile first premiered the single “Friend of a Friend,” it was to an eager audience in Croatia. During that show, back in 2022, the trio made up of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and Tom Skinner revealed that the song had been written that same day. At the time, it was only a skeleton of the song it would come to be as the Radiohead side-project released “Friend of a Friend” as the latest single from their upcoming record Wall of Eyes. “All the window balconies, they seem so flimsy as our/Friends step out to…

The further we get from the Nineties, the more it looks like a series of musical golden ages all stacked atop one another, a kaleidoscopic moment when grimy hip-hop and future-shock R&B hit artistic and commercial peaks at the same time as a procession of fuzz-pedal-toting rock bands found themselves at the center of pop culture. It was the best-ever era for one-hit wonders, even as major labels — suddenly uncertain in era when Nirvana or Wu-Tang Clan could beat out manicured product — also threw…

Radiohead side project the Smile — featuring the band’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood along with former Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner — have announced their second album, Wall of Eyes, the follow-up to their 2022 debut A Light for Attracting Attention. Ahead of the LP’s January 26 release, the trio have shared the video for the album’s title track, a visual that reunites Yorke with director Paul Thomas Anderson, who previously helmed the singer’s Anima short film along with Radiohead’s “Daydreaming” video:…

The first song I remember hearingSpace Oddity by David Bowie, in our flat in Belsize Park in north London, as a kid. My parents played a lot of music. They were real hippies, bohemians. They’d listen to David Bowie and I’d listen to musicals like West Side Story.The first single I boughtI had a little record player in my room, and I remember putting on a Beatles seven-inch that had Penny Lane on one side and Strawberry Fields Forever on the other. My mum used to work at Camden Market. I probably picked it up from there or…
