The Smile - Cutouts

Cutouts is the third studio album by The Smile, the side project of Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and drummer Tom Skinner. Building on the momentum of earlier releases, Cutouts blends cinematic orchestral arrangements with post-punk and jazz influences. The album’s quick turnaround follows the same sessions as Wall of Eyes but offers a more playful energy with upbeat tracks and reflective moments. But is it worth your time? Let’s dig into what the critics think.
