Radiohead and the Smile frontman Thom Yorke has contributed the theme song “Dialing In” to the forthcoming Apple TV+ series Smoke. The previously unreleased track—which Yorke has performed live under its former title “Gawpers”—is available to stream for the first time. Listen to “Dialing In” below, and check out the trailer for Smoke.
Smoke follows a detective (Jurnee Smollett) and an arson investigator (Taron Egerton) who are trying to catch a pair of serial arsonists wreaking fiery havoc across the Pacific Northwest. Speaking of Yorke’s theme song in press materials, Smoke creator and executive producer Dennis Lehane said: “Working with Thom Yorke was as much an honour for me as working with Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, or Richard Price. I’ve somehow been blessed with collaborating with living legends who were also formative influences on my own creative life. Thom is definitely that. In addition, he took a basic concept I gave him and delivered a song that perfectly embodies the show and absolutely crushes.”
Yorke recently released Tall Tales, his new collaborative album with electronic producer Mark Pritchard.
