The Smile – Coutouts (White Vinyl)

The Smile’s third studio album, “Cutouts,” is a sonic tapestry woven with the same intricate threads that have captivated audiences since their debut. Released in 2024, the album continues to showcase the band’s ability to blend electronic experimentation with a classic rock sensibility.

Produced by Sam Petts-Davies, “Cutouts” features a collection of ten tracks that delve into themes of introspection and societal commentary. Yorke’s distinctive vocals, Greenwood’s innovative guitar work, and Skinner’s dynamic drumming create a captivating soundscape that is both familiar and fresh. The album’s title, “Cutouts,” suggests a sense of fragmented reality, and the music reflects this theme with its intricate layers and unexpected turns.
