The Smile, featuring Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood alongside jazz drummer Tom Skinner, is set to release their second album of the year, Cutouts, on October 4 via XL Recordings. This new release follows their earlier 2024 album, Wall of Eyes. Ahead of the album launch, the band has shared music videos for two new songs, “Foreign Spies” and “Zero Sum,” directed by Weirdcore. The album also includes “Don’t Get Me Started” and “The Slip,” which was previously a vinyl-exclusive track.

The band recorded Cutouts with producer Sam Petts-Davies at Oxford and London’s Abbey Road Studios, during the same sessions that produced Wall of Eyes. Check out the new music videos below!
