ABOUT THIS BAND

Following the release of second track “The Smoke,” The Smile play three back to back live shows across 16 hours and three timezones at Magazine London. Performing in the round to an in-person audience and simultaneously livestreamed worldwide, the hybrid shows featured multiple songs that comprise The Smile’s first album, produced by Nigel Godrich and to be released via XL Recordings. The Smile's acerbic first single "You Will Never Work In Television Again,” is a 2:48 blast of ragged, raw energy that moved The New York Times to rave: "Over a bruising 5/4 beat and flailing guitars climbing through three chords, Yorke snarl-sings his avenging fury at 'some gangster troll promising the moon' who’d devour 'all those beautiful young hopes and dreams,' and you can almost feel the spittle flying.” “You Will Never Work In Television Again” was one of eight songs played by The Smile during the band’s debut performance as part of the 2021 global streaming Glastonbury event Live At Worthy Farm.
