The Smile stopped by the NPR office to play a “Tiny Desk Concert.” The group performed songs from its debut album, A Light for Attracting Attention: “Pana-vision,” “The Smoke,” and “Skrting on the Surface.” Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and Tom Skinner were joined by saxophonist Robert Stillman for the performance. Watch below.
Last month, the Smile released a live album titled The Smile (Live at Montreux Jazz Festival, July 2022). Prior to that, they were the musical guests on an episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Fittingly, they made their U.S. television debut by playing “You Will Never Work in Television Again.”
