The Big Mates discuss painting, the pandemic, Glastonbury Festival, and A Light For Attracting Attention by The Smile.

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their deep dive into the career and discography of Radiohead by discussing the debut by side-project, The Smile. They look at how the band featuring Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood came to be, howe they recorded their first album, and the context surrounding the songs.

They also go track-by-track on the record, discuss the band's debut performance on Glastonbury livestream, and look to the future of the project.

Is it just another Radiohead album? What does it mean for the future of Radiohead? Is a flute a woodwind? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out on Monday June 26th and we'll be discussing the contemporary classical and film score works of Jonny Greenwood.
