The Smile are an English rock band formed in 2018, consisting of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and Tom Skinner. The band features Yorke on vocals, guitar, bass, and keys; Greenwood on guitar, bass, and keys; and Skinner on drums. Their music has been compared to Radiohead, with additional influences from jazz, krautrock, and progressive rock, and is characterized by a looser, more improvisational sound. The band made their debut performance in May 2021, streamed by the Glastonbury Festival. In early 2022, they released six singles and performed three livestreamed shows in London. Their debut album, A Light for Attracting Attention, was released in May 2022 and produced by Nigel Godrich. The band toured Europe and North America in 2022 and 2023, and released live recordings including The Smile (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival, July 2022) and Europe: Live Recordings 2022. Their second studio album, Wall of Eyes, produced by Sam Petts-Davies, was released in January 2024, followed by a European tour. Their third album, Cutouts, recorded during the same sessions as Wall of Eyes, was released in October 2024.
