The Smile, the Radiohead side project featuring Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and Tom Skinner (formerly of Sons of Kemet), had one of 2022’s best albums with their debut, A Light for Attracting Attention, and they’ll follow it with Wall of Eyes on Jan. 26. The album features string arrangements by the London Contemporary Orchestra, and you can hear those on the latest single, “Friend of a Friend,” which also features saxophone from collaborator and tourmate Robert Stillman.
