The Smile is heading to Alexandra Palace in March 2024 as part of their upcoming headline European tour.

Comprising Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, plus Tom Skinner of Son of Kemet, the Smile first debuted Bending Hectic during the supergroup’s Montreux Jazz Festival appearance in 2022; since then, the track became a word-of-mouth phenomenon, with fans and critics calling for its release. After a year of waiting, the song marked the band’s first piece of new music in 2023.

Now, the Smile has announced its new album Wall Of Eyes (out 26 January on XL Recodings), the follow-up to their 2022 debut LP A Light For Attracting Attention, which received critical acclaim from the likes of The Guardian, Pitchfork, The Observer, The Needle Drop, Rolling Stone, New York Magazine, Uncut and MOJO, and more. Recorded between Oxford and Abbey Road Studios, the album boasts production and mixing by Sam Petts-Davies and enchanting string arrangements by the London Contemporary Orchestra.
