The Smile – A Light for Attracting Attention (Yellow Vinyl)

$63.95 Inc. GST

The Smile’s debut album, “A Light for Attracting Attention,” is a genre-bending exploration that draws from a wide range of influences. While the core sound is built on the art rock and post-punk sensibilities of Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, drummer Tom Skinner injects a dose of energy with his afrobeats and jazz background. This creates a dynamic and unpredictable soundscape that weaves together intricate melodies, driving rhythms, and moments of electronic experimentation.

Released in May 2022, the album features guest appearances from a string orchestra and a full brass section, adding another layer of texture and depth to the music. Tracks like “You Will Never Work In Television Again” showcase the band’s raw energy, while others like “Free in the Knowledge” offer a more introspective side. Despite its diverse elements, “A Light for Attracting Attention” maintains a cohesive feel, a testament to the band’s strong songwriting and collaborative spirit.
