A much anticipated album, by me certainly, was officially released today (January 26, 2024). Here is the Bandcamp: https://thesmile.bandcamp.com/album/wall-of-eyes" rel="nofollow - https://thesmile.bandcamp.com/album/wall-of-eyes Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6PdPOv5ybKZ9ZuGMk5iGZd" rel="nofollow - https://open.spotify.com/album/6PdPOv5ybKZ9ZuGMk5iGZd Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf_OT-1c3m3B2hsZkUrKYO5QVnRnfBfSw" rel="nofollow - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf_OT-1c3m3B2hsZkUrKYO5QVnRnfBfSw For those that don't know The Smile, the band consists of Thom Yorke (vocals, guitar, bass, keys) and Jonny Greenwood (guitar, bass, keys) of Radiohead, as well as Tom Skinner on drums. Their A Light for Attracting Attention album was one of my very favourites of 2022. I have not yet listened to the full new album, but the singles that were released before really got me excited. "Bending Heretic" gave me chills (expect to see it in a poll of mine in the very near future  ) : |

I would guess that many Radiohead appreciators would not enjoy it nearly as much as I have. That said, it does help that am very into Radiohead and Radiohead-related music. I actually have yet to give the whole a proper spin, but I loved the tracks that were released earlier from it. Usually with Radiohead too, some music may need a little more time to grown on me. I have liked Radiohead music for many years, but it's only fairly recently that I REALLY got into Radiohead in a big way when it comes to its discography (not just a few select releases). |

As much as I loved A Light... (and loved even more seeing them live) - both of the new singles had a stronger emotional impact on me than anything on the debut. I think. So yes exited for tis one. |

| I like the Keyboard solo at the end of Wall of Eyes, with all the Thom Yorkes speaking for nobody, scratching the head, etc. |
