The Smile release their new album Cutouts on XL Recordings

Friday 4th October 2024 - 5PM

The Smile - Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood and Tom Skinner - performed several Cutouts tracks on The Smile's UK tour in March. Cutouts features 10 new tracks and is produced by Sam Petts-Davies. It is the band's third studio album, following Wall of Eyes, released in January, and the trio's debut album, A Light For Attracting Attention, released in 2022. Cutouts was recorded in Oxford and Abbey Road Studios during the same period as Wall Of Eyes. The album features string arrangements by the London Contemporary Orchestra and the cover was painted during recording by Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke.

This is The Smile's second studio album in less than a year. In January, Wall Of Eyes reached number three on the UK album charts, receiving praise from The Guardian, Evening Standard, The Independent, MOJO, Uncut and NME who called it "the best album of the year so far".

The Smile release their new album Cutouts on XL Recordings this Friday 4th October.
