The Smile returns with a new single titled "Don’t Get Me Started," marking their first release since January’s Wall of Eyes. This track, included in a limited edition 12" single released last month, comes with a visually captivating video directed by Weirdcore. A second song from the single, “The Slip,” has yet to be made available digitally.
The new song was produced by Sam Petts-Davies, who also worked on Wall of Eyes, with recording sessions taking place at both Oxford and Abbey Road Studios. Comprised of Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead, alongside jazz drummer Tom Skinner, the trio has spent much of the year touring in support of their album. However, they had to cancel several shows when Greenwood was hospitalized due to a severe infection. Fortunately, the band announced that he is now out of danger and will be returning home soon.
