The Smile announce third album ‘Cutouts’ – hear two new singles
The album, out in October via XL Recordings, is being previewed by new tracks ‘Foreign Spies’ and ‘Zero Sum’.
The Smile have announced that they will release their third album, Cutouts, this October via XL Recordings.
The band – featuring Radiohead members Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke alongside Tom Skinner – released debut album A Light For Attracting Attention in 2021, following it up last year with Wall of Eyes.
Cutouts will be released on October 4 and is being previewed by two new singles, ‘Foreign Spies’ and ‘Zero Sum’.
Listen to both of those tracks and see the album artwork by Yorke and Stanley Donwood below.
Earlier this summer, The Smile cancelled a tour of Europe next month after Greenwood was hospitalised and placed in intensive care.
The band shelved all dates after Greenwood fell “seriously ill” from an infection. A statement read: “A few days ago, Jonny became seriously ill from an infection that needed emergency hospital treatment, some of it in intensive care. Mercifully he is now out of danger and will soon return home.
“We have been instructed by the medical team in charge of Jonny’s care to cancel all engagements until he has had time to make a full recovery. To that end, The Smile tour of Europe in August is cancelled.”
