Smile A Light for Attracting Attention

4 stars out of 5 -- "A LIGHT FOR ATTRACTING ATTENTION contains some of the songwriters' most easily enjoyable music in years....The songs here feel more concrete than they have on recent Radioheadbangers..."
"Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood sound remarkably invigorated on a heady, eclectic album whose high points rank with anything they've done this side of IN RAINBOWS."
"Thom is indubitably Thom, a relentless chronicler of all our modern calamities, but he seems looser and less hemmed in by expectations here."
4 stars out of 5 -- "That garage band energy from the Glasto stream is at the core A LIGHT FOR ATTRACTING ATTENTION. Lead single 'You Will Never Work In Television Again' rattles along nicely with a punky rush..."
Paste (magazine) - "These songs are insular and anxiety-ridden, shorn of soaring choruses or straightforward rhythms, but they are also invigorating jolts of art-rock energy."
Pitchfork (Website) - "[T]he album alternately combats the horrors of modern life with roiling anger and Zen-like serenity."
Clash (Magazine) - "The Smile pull off the seemingly impossible, taking the much-maligned white-lads-with-guitars format to exotic new places. It's brilliant."
