Aside from his role as principal songwriter and frontman in Radiohead, Thom Yorke’s prolific body of work includes three studio albums under his own name, heading up the project Atoms For Peace, original film scores and more recently, The Smile.
The Australian appearances are announced hot on the heels of his most recent offering, Confidenza, a soundtrack album for Domenico Starnone’s novel of the same name. Confidenza follows the multi-GRAMMY winner’s previous full-length score and original soundtrack for Luca Guadagnino’s 2018 Suspiria remake, Suspirium receiving a GRAMMY-nomination for Best Song Written for Visual Media. Produced by Sam Petts-Davies (Suspiria, The Smile Wall Of Eyes), Confidenza sees Petts-Davies and Yorke working again with the London Contemporary Orchestra alongside a jazz ensemble which included Robert Stillman and fellow The Smile bandmate Tom Skinner. In 2019 Yorke contributed music to Edward Norton’s Motherless Brooklyn and in 2022 he wrote two original tracks for the series finale of Peaky Blinders.
As of late, Yorke has been recording and touring with The Smile (Tom Skinner, Jonny Greenwood, Thom Yorke), who released their second studio-album Wall Of Eyes in January which follows the band’s 2022-debut album A Light For Attracting Attention. On the band’s most recent tour run in March, the prolific trio debuted even more new The Smile music across various shows.
