A Light for Attracting Attention is the debut album by the English rock band the Smile. It was digitally released through XL Recordings on 13 May, 2022, with a physical release set for June 17th, 2022.
The Smile comprises Radiohead members Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood with Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner. The album was produced by Nigel Godrich, Radiohead's longtime producer. The Smile worked during the COVID-19 lockdowns and made their surprise debut in a performance streamed by Glastonbury Festival in May 2021. In early 2022, they released five singles and performed to an audience for the first time at three shows in London in January, which were livestreamed. They began a European tour in May. So far, A Light for Attracting Attention has received critical acclaim.
Pitchfork awarded it their "best new music" accolade, with the critic Ryan Dombal writing that it was "instantly, unmistakably the best album yet by a Radiohead side project". In June 2022, Spin named A Light for Attracting Attention the best album of the year so far; the critic Zach Schonfeld wrote that it was Yorke and Greenwood's best work since the 2007 Radiohead album In Rainbows, and that "it almost makes you want to send Radiohead’s other three members a sympathy card".
