indie miners dive into Cutouts, the third album by The Smile, released surprisingly soon after their last effort, Wall of Eyes. They discuss whether the quick follow-up added any new value or if it felt like a continuation of their previous work. With standout tracks like Zero Sum, featuring clever lyrics about Windows 95, and Instances Harm, which brings a psychedelic vibe reminiscent of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, they weigh in on the album’s strengths and its similarities to past projects. Could Cutouts have been part of a double album with Wall of Eyes? The conversation turns nostalgic, drawing comparisons to Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac era, as the hosts reflect on the band’s unique ability to experiment without the baggage of their Radiohead roots. As the episode wraps up, they drop a bombshell: Radiohead is rehearsing for the first time in years, leaving us to wonder if Cutouts might be The Smile’s last release for a while. Be sure to share your thoughts in the comments - is Zero Sum the album’s best track? What’s next for The Smile?
