The Smile – Cutouts (CD)
Product Details
Smile operates at a remove from the album cycle pressure that defined Radiohead's career, and that freedom shows. Yorke and Greenwood have used this trio, completed by the rhythmically restless Tom Skinner, to pursue a looser, more improvisatory energy than their main band typically allows, while Skinner's roots in the fertile London jazz underground give the group a propulsive core that keeps even the most atmospheric material grounded.
The Smile - Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and Sons of Kemet's Tom Skinner - return with their third album 'Cutouts'. The 10-track album was produced and mixed by Sam Petts-Davies [Frank Ocean 'Blond', Thom Yorke 'Suspiria'], mastered by Sterling Sound's Greg Calbi and features artwork by Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, in Oxford and in moments on the road, the tracks feature strings by the London Contemporary Orchestra as well as contemporary UK jazz player Pete Wareham [flute].
