The Smile have today released a new track “Don’t Get Me Started” with an accompanying video, directed by audiovisual artist Weirdcore (Aphex Twin, Charli xcx, Radiohead).
“Don’t Get Me Started” follows a very limited edition 2-track 12-inch single released last Friday exclusively through record shops globally. The double A-side comprises “Don’t Get Me Started” and another new song, “The Slip”, sleeved in XL Recordings’ iconic housebag, re-designed by Stanley Donwood.
“Don’t Get Me Started” debuted during The Smile’s UK tour dates in March this year, in support of the band’s second album Wall Of Eyes, released in January. “Don’t Get Me Started” was produced and mixed by Sam Petts-Davies, who produced Wall Of Eyes, and recorded between Oxford and Abbey Road Studios.
“Don’t Get Me Started” is the first new music from The Smile since their acclaimed album Wall Of Eyes, which charted at Number 3 in the UK album charts and received fantastic “Best Album of the Year so far” praise from Pitchfork, The Needle Drop, Consequence, Brooklyn Vegan, Treblezine and Spin.
“Don’t Get Me Started” is out now via XL Recordings.
