This interviewer is doing a good job. No annoying questions and he seems to genuinely understand and get what the guys are doing. Tom Skinner is a revelation for me. He's expressive, melodic, groovy, tasteful, chops for days, full of interesting ideas and does it all with so much finesse. I love listening to him play, just gorgeous drumming.
Tom Skinner is so cool, got to talk to him briefly at a performance of voices of bishara, really cool guy, and such a good artist!! I'm so happy we got this new record, the songs are so good, I'm OBSESSED with Bodies Laughing and Eyes & Mouth! Also the ones with the London Contemporary orchestra, Tiptoe and Instant Psalm... wow, ethereal. Love them. Love this. So happy.
I can imagine why Thom & Jonny wouldn’t want to answer questions from interviewers comparing this band to Radiohead and asking how the other band members feel about it, etc. Not worth their time.
They need to keep making music and touring, I've only seen them live once and I'm a greedy b@stard who needs more. Get back on the road boys! ;-)) LOVE this new album.
Cutouts makes a lot more sense in tandem with woe. Many, many memorable and strange licks, crazy dynamic drumming and varied vocals. Maybe Co is still weaker but its too early to tell
Not only just working with them but also having Thom and Jonny consider Tom Skinner as their equals. People tend to think of The Smile as just Thom and Jonny when they're talking about the band, but Tom Skinner is The Smile too. I don't remember where I read it, but I think Thom said something about Tom Skinner is the one that knows what he's doing and he's the reason why everything works. Something like that. High praise.

It's a masterpiece. Tom Skinner has proven himself to be just as much a genius as Thom and Jonny. The drumming elevates these songs to new levels.
Exactly. Three powerful and humble musicians performing magic

Awesome, thank you for your efforts in uploading these interviews.
Great album it’s a real grower with each listen. The drum work from Skinner is his best yet.
Tom’s drums are spectacular on the new record
It's a great album and on par with the last Wall of Eyes.
And as for Tom Skimmer 🤩👌
Thank you for this! They have been so prolific, except when it comes to giving interviews.

Hope Johnny is feeling better

me too!!
Tom has the best type of British accent

they sent the drummer to do press because they didn't want to. the records are so good.
i love how Tom still acts like a fan of thom and jonny when hes literally working with them its so cool
