The Smile – Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and Sons of Kemet’s Tom Skinner – return with their third album ‘Cutouts’. The 10-track album was produced and mixed by Sam Petts-Davies [Frank Ocean 'Blond', Thom Yorke 'Suspiria'], mastered by Sterling Sound’s Greg Calbi and features artwork by Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, in Oxford and in moments on the road, the tracks feature strings by the London Contemporary Orchestra as well as contemporary UK jazz player Pete Wareham [flute]. Keen-eyed fans will be familiar with a number of tracks that have been debuted live during the band’s 2023 and 2024 tours as well as recognize “Tiptoe”, which was shared as a sneak preview at this year’s Wall of Eyes: on Film events. ‘Cutouts’ follows the band's acclaimed albums, ‘Wall of Eyes’ – released earlier this year – and 2022’s ‘A Light For Attracting Attention’, which was named an AOTY by Pitchfork, Uncut, MOJO, Rough Trade, Billboard, New York Times, Consequence and many more.
