Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood have teamed up with Sons of Kemet jazz drummer Tom Skinner for a new band called THE SMILE. The new group premiered their new music at Live at Worthy Farm, filmed on the Glastonbury festival site this past weekend.
Named after a Ted Hughes poem and produced by Nigel Godrich, the new project made its debut during a set for Glastonbury’s Live at Worthy Farm livestream which featured eight-song setlist that opened with a new version of Radiohead’s unreleased track “Skirting on the Surface” (aka “Skating on the Surface”).
There’s no word on whether the Smile plan to release an album.
