I hate to say it, but I'm fine with the smile continuing on if they just keep making music like this consistently. Sure I'd miss radiohead, but this is groovy as all hell, thanks for the recording btw! This is all so very exciting.
I think what the smile allowed them is that it rid them of all the expectations people had from them as radiohead and allowed them to feel free, be creative and perform whatever they feel like as if they are a new band that no one knows. I think being free from that pressure is the reason their music continues to sound so fresh and genuine and the reason the smile will (imo)surpass the radiohead legacy in a very subtle manner. The smile already has a unique identity and a consistent adventurous spirit that keeps pushing boundaries and that led to wall of eyes being SO well put together and unique. With every new song they stray further and further from radiohead (not necessarily just in sound -this does bring back memories- but mainly in mindset). Thus I have a strong feeling the next album will be creative peak
In a recent interview, Jonny said Thom describes their process as "a room full of unfinished canvases" that they just work on here and there until they become a finished song. This band takes the canvases on the road with them. What will be most fascinating is where this song is at the end of the tour and how much working on the canvas live changes it.
@@ThaddausTentakel-sd1fnit was a BBC thing he did recently. I think it was the only interview I heard from him this album cycle, other than a few tidbits they did as a group and that guest DJ thing they did for BBC also.
You Will Never Work In Television Again has Thom busting out his punk Pablo Honey voice. It's really interesting to hear them combining old and new Radiohead eras, with a totally fresh drumming style by Tom Skinner.

Do you have a source for that interview. Jonny barley does interviews!

This shit is "lurgee" in 2024. God bless us all.
Reminds me of I Promise as well
Reminds me of A Reminder
This sounds like it could be a b-side from the Bends era. Unexpected.
first show of the tour and theyre already performing new stuff the boys don't quit!!
This comes to show The Smile is here to stay and we'll not see Radiohead again for a very long time
Reminds me a lot of "Sulk" and The Bends era...with a calmer rhythm... even in Thom's singing
Great song 👌🏻🎧
Never thought I’d hear a Pablo honey sounding song from thom and co again

You a saint for recording this Psalm.
i loved hearing this live so much
Crazy how prolific this band has been. It's like all of the pent up energy from the last Radiohead album is overflowing into this project.
Especially in these new songs, they're amazing.
point to a single time when Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have not exhibited "pent up" songwriting energy.
It is f.. Incredible!! Regards from Minsk
couldn't believe i was hearing contemporary rock :o
Lurgee Pablo honey ❤
Thom S-tier song namer
amazing
This sounds like Lift 2002 version
Gives me Head on Pill vibes by King Gizzard. Frick yea
gold
Reminds me of early pink Floyd
Thanks. Sounds a bit like an OK Computer B-side... What's the name of the other new track they played?
They have 'zero sum' which I have uploaded and they have 'colours Fly'
Tiptoe
4/4?!?
I'd say nothing the they do is 4/4
This isn't Colours Fly btw. This is Instant Psalm! :)
Thank you for the heads up, Mixed up the names. Fixed it!
Thanks for the recordings. These are the first clips of them ever@@DealBreak404
Did you get wall of eyes recorded? I want to hear it live so badly
Unfortunately not sorry
Who is the fourth person sitting next to Thom?
likely robert stillman
Robert Stillman I think
Soundgarden / audioslave vibes
not hearing it
First!!!!!
Sounds a bit like pink floyd like the gilmour era to me
