The Smile – Wall Of Eyes

Wall of Eyes is the second studio album by The Smile, the trio formed by Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood (of Radiohead) alongside drummer Tom Skinner (Sons of Kemet).

Released in 2024, the album deepens the sonic language established on their debut, expanding the palette with orchestral arrangements, subtle electronic textures, and compositions that shift between experimental rock and atmospheric songwriting. Recorded at Abbey Road and other studios in Oxford and London, the album is produced by Sam Petts-Davies and features contributions from the London Contemporary Orchestra, adding emotional and cinematic weight to the sound. The lyrics explore themes of alienation, surveillance, and emotional displacement, with Yorke’s voice floating between the ethereal and the unsettling. Wall of Eyes affirms The Smile as one of the most compelling post-Radiohead projects, embracing an aesthetic that is both demanding and forward-thinking.
