The Smile, the trio formed by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood with Tom Skinner, are announcing today a new live album entitled The Smile (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival, July 2022).
Releasing a recording of their appearance at this particular festival is no coincidence, as they are actually following in the footsteps of legendary artists that have shared Montreux Jazz Festival performances like Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Wu-Tang Clan, and Nile Rodgers.
The Smile (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival, July 2022) will only be released digitally and it features live renditions recorded at the Montreaux Jazz Festival in Switzerland of seven tracks off their debut album A Light For Attracting Attention. It will be available on Wednesday, December 14.
If you’d like a visual to go along with these tracks, the band is actually offering fans a film of these tracks will broadcast from the band’s YouTube channel on Tuesday December 13th at 8pm GMT / 3pm EST. NOTE: The performance will be available online for just 48 hours and it will also exclusively contain the first ever public outing of new song “Bending Hectic,” which happened to have been written earlier that day.
