Radiohead side project The Smile debut new track ‘Skrting On The Surface’

The Smile, the side-project of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, have today shared a new track called ‘Skrting On The Surface’.

The group, which sees Yorke and Greenwood alongside Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner, first performed the track during their performance at Glastonbury’s Live At Worthy Farm livestream in 2021, as well as a recent string of gigs in London.

It began life as a Radiohead song, but never saw the light of day in the band’s releases. Previous releases from the band include ‘The Smoke‘ and their debut single, ‘You Will Never Work In Television Again‘, which both arrived in January 2022.

Earlier this week, Yorke also shared new song ‘5.17’, written for the final season of ‘Peaky Blinders’.

Last month they also followed their debut live gigs with news of a further run of shows in May. They will kick off in Europe, with four UK shows including two at London’s Roundhouse. Tickets can be purchased here.
