[@vincevirtua]

No joke, this Bodies Laughing one was on Colin’s ‘In Rainbows’ studio blackboard photo. It started as another Radiohead tune like Skirting on the Surface & Open the Floodgates (and probably a couple others).

[@DeutscherPatrick]

We need a studio version!!

[@MoonsickStridor]

This gives me a phased-out Knives Out vibe. Love it. Also man, that solo definitely shows off the amazingness that is the EOB Strat.

[@barryjones2638]

yeah totally, that’s exactly what I was thinking last week when I was listening to it, Knives out part II!!!

[@MonticArckeys]

So sad this wasnt on the new album. What a track!

[@la.belle.p0mme]

Maybe for the Radiohead new album 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@RyanRenteria]

Thom playing an Ed O’Brien signature strat!

[@maktiv78]

looks like it!

[@user-vd8uy9ri8p]

Ed would love this stage too :)

[@MicahBuzanANIMATION]

He seems to be making good use of the sustain on the guitar solos

[@autoloon]

more likely he is just playing one of ed's actual guitars lol

[@RyanRenteria]

@@autoloon yep, looks like a protype as the black sustainer pickups were the only ones available until EOB's were mass-produced

[@M_Lev]

I love how Jonny and Thom alternate bass guitar and 6-string guitar duties for this project. They both look like they are having so much fun. Counting the days until the NYC leg of the tour!

[@mirkodimaggio7817]

basso sublime, chitarra magica, batteria superba

[@Rawk10]

FANTASTIC! They literally did a live studio fade-out at the end.

[@WiseRiley]

exactly my thoughts, i was listening in the background and was like "hold up!", amazing

[@sebastiancamacho6224]

The best thing about The Smile is how spontaneous and creative they get to make the music they create... it reminds me of the time of Hail To The Thief where they themselves comment that a song came out every week... 🎧

[@codycooke4461]

It's hard to imagine that Radiohead wrote and recorded Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief from 1999-2003. Three different, acclaimed records in four years! Knowing Radiohead as they are now, it seems insane to think they managed Kid A/Amnesiac and the challenges there, toured both albums through 2001, then came back in 2002 with like 15 new songs.

[@Guadeloop]

@@codycooke4461 it's even more incredible when you consider that these guys are still coming out with stuff that's arguably just as good nowadays after all that

[@pierre.estenaga]

Another « new » one. The Smile is contagious.

Absolutely cannot get enough of this track, ever since they played it live in Brooklyn.

[@MBArkestra]

This sounds a lot like The Cure, in the best way possible. Looking forward to hearing this one recorded.

[@MissHeathen]

This sounds like Thom finally created a psychedelic jazz band he always wanted. I'm REALLY hoping they release another album soon, cuz I'm expecting these new tracks on a b-sides album at the end of the year. Please Please Please Please!

[@MissHeathen]

right-click the screen and select "Loop". You're welcome.

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

I was a little sad that Radiohead may never come back but you know the essence of it is perfectly captured with the smile, hope they keep going there’s so many different styles in it too

[@lupa3041]

why a b-sides album?

[@MissHeathen]

@@lupa3041 cuz I’m selfish and want these new tracks now?

[@scottishcheese13]

@@MissHeathen I’m pretty sure there was only 1 song that didn’t make it onto the first album, Just Eyes and Mouth. Most of the songs they’ve played that weren’t on the album were written while touring, so it wouldn’t really be a b-side album.

[@stef4437]

i like how johnny is using the same bass colin uses

[@PearlyBlues8900]

And Thom’s using Ed’s signature guitar

[@LipsCollide]

Can definitely hear more than a little of Knives Out in that bass line..

[@jona7357]

No matter if theres missing 3 members, the smile is still clearly a spinoff of radiohead

[@CiroTricking]

that natural fade out was next level

[@mikesantiago14]

man, this riff is insanely good, i am fucking addicted to it

[@szgk]

Came here to check it before listening to the new version played first in March 2024 in Belgium. Cheers!

[@arrozcombife656]

Thom using the ed o'brien signature strat is so cool

[@dimaMAYD]

Sounds so Krautrocky! Especially the bass. Reminds me of Talk Show Host and all their other attempts to sound like a 70s band.

[@snagglesnorf3426]

Never really listened to krautrock but this kinda reminds me of dollars and cents. Is that how krautrock sounds like?

[@dimaMAYD]

@@snagglesnorf3426 Not exactly. Dollars And Cents has a more jazzy feel to it, and this one is closer to Talk Show Host by Radiohead and Vitamin C by the German Krautrock band Can (you can listen to it, or you may know it, as well; also I'd recommend you to listen to another track by them called Splash, and their main hits). Though, Can draws heavily from Jazz music as well - at least, in terms of performing the songs and overall chaotic presence happening on stage.

Although I know these guys LOVE sitting on songs for years, but these new ones sound pretty much finished.

[@Drenwickification]

@@jeanmmckenzie true but the songs from first album all sounded finished when they performed them on the online Glastonbury in 2021 but then it took a year for the album to come out. I would love another album soon but I’m not expecting it this year tbh

[@jeanmmckenzie]

@@Drenwickification not this year for sure, but I'm thinking something like late spring - early summer 2023

Ed O'Brian is also somewhat present as Thom is playing his Fender signature strat!

[@isaiah147]

I can't wait for a studio version of this track!

[@raoulduke-k9d]

My favourite song

[@bjrnbrynemo9059]

This is perfect for Thom. Playing small venues, with his strongest instrumentalist and a new and exiting drummer. Simplifying everything by operating in a 3 peace band, and not having to play those old Radiohead tunes over and over, nor having those high expectations for every release. Now it's all about the moment, the art and being productive.

[@ecg8510]

Primavera Sound is not precisely a “small venue”

[@Drenwickification]

@@ecg8510 I mean it's relative. It is small compared to the 10-20k arenas that Radiohead would regularly play at, or 50-100k crowds they would often play at festivals being the headliners.

[@finncullen7548]

good comment i like it

[@Ryguzapi]

@@Drenwickification i was in the first weekend of primavera and we would all sum up to 110k easily, and they played in the biggest scenario that fits around 30k people since its 2 big scenarios put together in a huge space. so if you think that a 10-20k arena is remarkably bigger than their primavera stage youre definitely wrong

[@AyyyGabagool]

@@ecg8510 Headline of a festival, Primavera Sound is not. He meant relatively.

[@raziax9603]

This could've fit somewhere in the middle of Wall of Eyes 👌🏻

[@pedrosolermartinez6273]

Is Radiohead ever coming back after what we see!?, this is a never ending source of songs, Thom and Johnny inspired as if they started a band for the first time. Incredible

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

I think Radiohead is done, I don’t think Thom would ever announce that. As long as Thom and Jonny keep playing together, the new album is very nuanced material

[@louiscocksman7114]

@@hippiecheezburger5457 Lmao maybe Thom would never announce that, but the rest of the band? OFC we’d hear something from them. And for god sake, Ed already said recently on Instagram that Radiohead is not dead, they’re just waiting for the time to be right. They’ve been busy doing their own shit. Radiohead isn’t dead, there’s just going to be a bigger gap between albums going forward.
