Thom Yorke made a two-hour mix for London’s NTS Radio, which initially aired on Tuesday evening (6/20); you can listen to it HERE. “This is my first mix for NTS.. no particular genre, era or anything … just stuff i’ve come across recently that really affected, excited me or made me think,” Thom says. His picks include tracks by Alice Coltrane, Ron Morelli, billy woods & Kenny Segal, Deathprod, Jorge Ben, Pino Palladino & Blake Mills, and more. See the full list of tracks below.
Thom’s project with his Radiohead bandmate Jonny Greenwood and Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner, The Smile, just began their North American summer tour in Mexico City, playing a sprawling set from their fantastic debut LP A Light For Attracting Attention, plus Thom’s solo track “Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses” and the newly-released “Bending Hectic.” See the full setlist below.
The Smile’s tour continues through the end of July, including a stop on July 7 at Forest Hills Stadium. Tickets to that show are still available, and we’re also giving away a pair! See all dates below.
