[p]Hey Riders, We've got an exciting drop for you today! Introducing The Smile's ZERO SUM:[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p]Cool, huh? And here's some deep lore: you can’t keep Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood (both from Radiohead), and drummer Tom Skinner locked down! Just before COVID, Skinner and Greenwood formed a small group, The Smile. By 2020, Greenwood brought in his bandmate, Radiohead lead vocalist Thom Yorke, to jam together on several tracks![/p][p][/p][p]What started as a simple project turned into a reveal at the Glastonbury Music Festival in 2021, multiple albums, and tours since! Best way to describe their style: Take Yorke & Greenwood’s other band, then pepper in more jazz, prog rock, and krautrock according to the critics. [/p][p]
