Thom Yorke played at the Royal Albert Hall in London in October for an event titled “Letters Live.” Solo, Yorke sang “Free in the Knowledge,” a track from his band the Smile. According to Stereogum, Yorke’s performance has now been made available online.
The Smile, which consists of Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, and drummer Tom Skinner, made their live debut at Glastonbury earlier this year. On Instagram Live, the band practiced numerous latest tracks, including “Free in the Knowledge.”
The Smile was named from a poem by Ted Hughes.
