The Smile have posted a series of cryptic social media posts leading fans to believe they’re teasing a new album.The supergroup consisting of Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood and Sons Of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner have been mystifying fans with a number of posts they’ve made on social media.Redditors have begun cracking some cryptic messages the band have been sending, which they’ve theorised leads to some titles on the tracklist of a potential upcoming project.One Instagram post, for instance, spells out the words ‘Three Zero Sum’ when using a Polybius cipher (which uses a 5×5 grid to create unique two digit numbers corresponding with a letter of the alphabet).Meanwhile, another TikTok uses a Solfa cipher (where a musical note and its length is assigned to the alphabet) to spell out ‘Seven Tiptoe’, suggesting ‘Tiptoe’ might be the record’s seventh track.And, if a recent tweet decoded with a Caesar cipher is to be believed, their recently released single ‘Don’t Get Me Started’ will be sixth in the tracklist.
