Going through the Radiohead discography was easily one of my most fun journeys through music I have ever had. Therefore I was extremely excited to hear that Thom and Johnny along with a new face for me Tom Skinner had decided to create a new side project under the name "The Smile" I am aware their new album "Wall of Eyes" has just released but I knew I wanted to check out their debut album "A Light For Attracting Attention" first. Also am making some changes to the studio space so please bear with me as I work through some teething issues with lighting etc.

It's always a good day when Jack explores the Radiohead Extended Universe 👌

@themadcow71 5 месяцев назад

I think it's easier to enjoy The Smile without comparing it to Radiohead. Just grateful that Johnny and Thom are making music together.

@GrantValdes 5 месяцев назад

Agreed - no need to compare. I listen to Yorke's solo stuff interspersed with the Smile and Radiohead. It's one body of work.

@isleofskye8073 5 месяцев назад

I don’t think Thoms solo stuff is as good. Atoms for peace on the other hand…

People say Thom and Jonny started the smile to have an excuse to play bass 😂, in all seriousness, this album is great, Free in the Knowledge is my personal favorite off it, but their new one is absolutely phenomenal. Be sure to also check out Thom’s solo albums! And maybe amok by atoms for peace. Love the videos as always! On a side note, hope you’re still planning on finishing arctic monkey’s discography, also anticipating Animals by Pink Floyd. Anyways have a great rest of your day and keep it up!

I love this album. It’s really varied and really shows what this band is capable of. Wall of Eyes is crazy fucking good though.

@@danielplainview2584 i think they have equal peaks and no real lows just the track listing is a bit more cohesive on wall of eyes. ALFAA is still a spectacular album.

Woohoo been waiting for this upload. Glad you liked it, Wall of Eyes is a lot more cohesive in my opinion. Great to have you back and had a fab holiday

@MM-vs2et 5 месяцев назад

Some of these songs were Radiohead songs. Open The Floodgates was a song that was written during the In Rainbows era, they played it live a few times, but no official recording until this. And Skirting On The Surface was also a Radiohead song, first surfacing live during the The King of Limbs era, and was very different from what we got here.

@antsteep 5 месяцев назад

I was lucky enough to see The Smile a few times. I remember thinking during Open the Floodgates and Free in the Knowledge that I was truly witnessing greatness.

You must do a reaction off Wall of Eyes new album

@murraylow6564 5 месяцев назад

Yes Jack! Delighted you got to listen to this one. We all knew you'd like it lol. This album gets better the more you listen to it as well, Tom Skinner brings something very different to Philip Selway on the Drums and it’s amazing the difference it makes. Almost as if it's a different band...lol. It's an interesting evolution showcasing Thom and Johnnys experience in Film soundtracks, their work so far with Radiohead and mixed with the Jazz style of Tom on the drums. Interestingly, for me anyway, a lot of it linked back to Kid A/Amnesiac with the wind and string instruments. Almost as if there was an itch they still had to scratch and could do that now they have a drummer with Tom's background. In many ways the Jazzy feel on the drums gives it a warmer tone than a Radiohead album generally is. Also, somehow more chaotic!

@juanpa0360 5 месяцев назад

We appreciate you!

I couldn’t see it mentioned but “Skirting on the Surface” and “Open the Floodgates” are older Radiohead tunes sound-checked or played live.
