DETROIT, MI | The powerhouse trio of Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and Tom Skinner put on an electric show at Detroit’s Masonic Temple last Monday night. Known as The Smile, taken from the Ted Hughes poem, they not only put out one of the best albums of 2022, A Light for Attracting Attention, but they put on one of the best shows of 2022.
Classifying their sound would be too reductive, but safe to say that if you’re a fan of Radiohead, you’ll certainly be a fan of The Smile. Good things happen with Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke connect, and their connection is only enhanced by Tom Skinner’s jazzy drumming.
Perhaps the best news to come from the evening was Thom’s announcement that they’re already working on a second album. And if the preview of a few of their new songs was any indication, we’re in for another treat.
The Smile continue their North American tour through December, so don’t miss your chance to go see them.
