About this album
A Light For Attracting Attention is a sharply realised debut from The Smile, the Radiohead side project of Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood with drummer Tom Skinner. Released in 2022, it blends art-rock tension, electronic detail and wiry indie guitar lines into a record that feels immediate yet carefully built. Produced with a lean, inventive touch, the album turns songs such as You Will Never Work In Television Again, The Smoke and Skrting On The Surface into tightly focused statements of unease, momentum and melody. It quickly marked The Smile out as a serious new force rather than a one-off experiment.
