#The smile band full#
Produced by Nigel Godrich and featuring additional critically acclaimed singles "Skrting On The Surface," "Pana-vision," "Free In The Knowledge” and “Thin Thing," A Light For Attracting Attention features strings by the London Contemporary Orchestra and a full brass section of contemporary UK jazz players including Byron Wallen, Theon and Nathaniel Cross, Chelsea Carmichael, Robert Stillman and Jason Yarde. Performed in the round to an in-person audience and simultaneously livestreamed worldwide, the hybrid shows featured multiple songs that comprise The Smile’s first album, A Light For Attracting Attention, released digitally May 13th via XL Recordings. Following the release of second track “The Smoke,” The Smile played three back to back live shows across 16 hours and three timezones at Magazine London. “You Will Never Work In Television Again” was one of eight songs played by The Smile during the band’s debut performance as part of the 2021 global streaming Glastonbury event Live At Worthy Farm. The description is borne out by The Smile's acerbic first single "You Will Never Work In Television Again,” a 2:48 blast of ragged, raw energy that moved The New York Times to rave: "Over a bruising 5/4 beat and flailing guitars climbing through three chords, Yorke snarl-sings his avenging fury at 'some gangster troll promising the moon' who’d devour 'all those beautiful young hopes and dreams,' and you can almost feel the spittle flying.” Helado Negro and the Smile Band’s Live At KCRW will be available in a limited vinyl edition from Helado Negro on a spree of upcoming US and international tour dates and from RVNG Intl.“Not The Smile as in ha-ha-ha, more The Smile as in the guy who lies to you every day”… so speaks Thom Yorke on the inspiration behind the name of the new trio consisting of himself, his Radiohead bandmate Jonny Greenwood and drummer Tom Skinner of UK jazz outfit Sons of Kemet. As Helado Negro and the Smile Band, Roberto Carlos Lange and his faithful music-making companions recreate the sounds of This Is How You Smile for Live at KCRW, a recording of the ensemble’s inspired performance on Jason Bentley’s Morning Becomes Eclectic.
Helado Negro and the Smile Band is Adron (voice, acoustic guitar), Ana Barreiro (drums), Angela Morris (voice, violin, piano), Nathaniel Morgan (saxophone), and Oliver Hill (bass, viola), with Roberto Carlos Lange at the center of it all. sounds good to me and different for them both. Join others and track this artist are an English rock band formed by Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner. Both vinyl sides end with distinct but holistic departures from Smile, dissolving into washes of instrumental, ambient splendor. Favorite track: You Will Never Work In Television Again. “Imagining What You Do” and “Sabana de Luz” follow like seasonal transitions, moving from gentle consolation to sun-drenched optimism. While some songs from Smile enjoy stylistic adaptation, as in the bossa nova swing of “Pais Nublado,” others return with new clarity, like the tenderly touched “Please Won’t Please.” “Running” reappears with a spirited pace, while “Two Lucky” stretches out through the expanded group’s rhythmic reach. Invocations of love, protection, and healing, tributes to maternal and ancestral journeying, and the universal appeal to “take care of one another” are flourished with the human quality of live vocal harmonization and a hybrid of acoustic and synthesized instrumentation. The beloved musical and lyrical themes of This Is How You Smile are revisited, if not revitalized, in the kindling of new arrangements, welcoming listeners across the hearth of the Helado Negro home. The first American tour by the group, collectively known as the Smile and not to be confused with Greenwood and Yorke’s other group, Radiohead has been set for late fall.
Live At KCRW serenades like a surreal sonnet in a morning dream, or an impromptu family singalong on a sunset road trip. In this living offering, six songs from Helado Negro’s most recent and widely embraced album are encouraged to a global sound stage from the intimacy of Lange’s studio embrace, swaddled in the comfortable delight of accomplished musicianship and amiable collaboration. As Helado Negro and the Smile Band, Roberto Carlos Lange and his faithful music-making companions recreate the sounds of This Is How You Smile for Live at KCRW, a recording of the ensemble’s inspired performance on Jason Bentley’s Morning Becomes Eclectic.
