20 Most Anticipated Hard Rock & Metal Albums Of 2022
2. The Smile
Title: TBA
Release Date:TBA
Previous Release: N/A
The Smile, while not as familiar as its list-mates, comes with hype due to its band members Rock CVs. Radiohead's Tom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and Sons of Kemet's Tom Skinner debuted as a trio during a Glastonbury Festival stream in May 2021. The eight tracks that made up their set, gave listeners flashbacks to Radiohead's early work particularly the band's 1995 album The Bends.
Aside from the band's performance, in January 2022, the band released two singles You Will Never Work In Television Again and The Smoke. The former leans into a more traditional rock sound, whereas the latter has a more bass heavy jazz influence.
The trio are currently letting the musical glimpses speak for the band, which only serves to increase the anticipation for the album release. From what is available, The Smile should please both long-term Radiohead fans and new admirers alike.
