The Smile‘s anticipated third album (and second of the year), Cutouts, arrives on Friday, and Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and Tom Skinner have given us one more early taste with a final advance single, the quietly hypnotic “Bodies Laughing.” Hear it below.
The band are also holding pop-up “electronic installations” for Cutouts in London (10/1-105 at 17 Bell St, 11am-5pm) and NYC (10/1-10/3 at 47 Canal St, 7pm-10pm) this week, where they say they’ll have exclusive visuals from Weirdcore and codes to unlock album tracks early. Watch a teaser video below.
The Smile cancelled their tour in July when Greenwood became “seriously ill from an infection” and was hospitalized; they don’t have any shows coming up at the moment. Stay tuned.
