Poimandres Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Details have leaked about a new The Smile album "Wall of Eyes". Very keen for this, the first album was great and Bending Hectic is a great track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnarlybog Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 My immediate reaction is that its a pretty dull single.. But then again, I feel that Thom Yorke's melodic strength has sort of fizzled out over these last few years. I miss a good hook from him. The last thing from him that really gave me goosebumps was the piano pieces from the Suspiria soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first single from the summer Bending Hectic is amazing,bastards are touring in Mar again and not playing in Ireland again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o00o Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 I needed some time to adjust to this more skeletal version of Radiohead. The absence of the guitar parts, which typically provide a solid and cohesive foundation, is noticeable. This is evident when comparing it to EOB's solo release "Earth," which has a more grounded sound than Radiohead itself. However, once acclimated to the jazz-influenced vibes, The Smile truly becomes an expansive experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that Decks Dark, Present Tense, Thin Thing and Skrting on the Surface all had top tier vocal melodies at least. But, maybe that's just me.

Bubba69 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Bending hectic might be my favorite thing they've (the smile) done. Not in love with wall of eyes (although I just noticed the left channel 1-2-3-4-5 count and that brought me some delight). That being said it'll be hard to beat out A Light for attracting attention, so many of those songs I love. Need to checkout these live clips.

WurstPLUS Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Totally missed this. Bending Hectic was awesome. Looking forward listening to Friend of a Friend and Wall of Eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavieAddison Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 It leaked today. Don't think I like it as much as the first one but time will tell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimandres Posted January 21 Author Share Posted January 21 I'm gonna try and hold out, it's only a few days away. How's the leak quality? If it's good it might be hard to resist... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I’m holding out as well. I saw a few of the new songs last couple times I saw them. When they released Bending Hectic last summer they said it wouldn’t be on the album so I wore it out. Kinda bummed about it but looking forward to the rest. I suspect it’ll be more cohesive than the 1st even though I absolutely loved that anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattthegoone Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Nice album, nothing as good as Bending Hectic on it, but that's understandable, it was the same with The Smoke on the last album, looking forward to the gig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Stranger Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 This is a really pretty sounding album! A nice low-key sister album to A Light For Attracting Attention. I definitely recommend listening on headphones, there are some really nice layered sounds going on in these tracks, I look forward to subsequent listens.
