The Smile surprise with second album of 2024 Cutouts

14th October 2024
Recorded in the same sessions as their previous album, the fantastic new record Cutouts was produced by Sam Petts-Davies with songs recorded here in Studio Two by engineer Oli Middleton, Abbey Road’s Tom Ashpitel and former assistant engineer Joe Wyatt.

The album came out last week to critical acclaim, featuring new singles Foreign Spies, Zero Sum and Don't Get Me Started.

“A thrilling testament to the near-telepathic chemistry the three musicians have spent the last three years developing” - Pitchfork

The trio - Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood and Tom Skinner - debuted several songs from Cutouts during The Smile’s UK tour in March. Featuring string arrangements by the London Contemporary Orchestra and album art painted during the recording process by Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke.

This is the second studio album release from The Smile in under a year. In January, Wall Of Eyes charted at #3 on the UK album charts, receiving Best Album of the Year so far praise from Pitchfork, The Needle Drop, Consequence, Brooklyn Vegan, Treblezine and Spin.
