"Wall Of Eyes" is the debut album from The Smile, a new musical project featuring Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood alongside Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner. The album is a captivating blend of experimental rock, electronica, and jazz influences, showcasing the trio's eclectic musical vision.
The album opens with the ethereal "The Same," setting the tone for a journey through introspective lyrics, hypnotic rhythms, and soaring melodies. "You Will Never Work In Television Again" is a driving, politically charged anthem, while "The Opposite" explores themes of duality and transformation.
"Skrting On The Surface" showcases Skinner's intricate drumming, creating a hypnotic groove that underpins Yorke's haunting vocals. "Free In The Knowledge" is a poignant ballad that builds to a cathartic crescendo, and "We Don't Know What Tomorrow Brings" closes the album with a sense of both uncertainty and hope.
