"Wall of Eyes" is the second album by English rock band "The Smile" (composed of Radiohead members Jonny Greenwood and Thom Yorke with drummer Tom Skinner), which was released on January 26, 2024, by XL Recordings.

"Wall of Eyes" was quickly praised and entered the top ten of several album charts. The video was recorded at Oxford and Abbey Road Studios, London, and producer Sam Petts-Davies. "The Smile" began a European tour in March 2024.
The video begins in a quiet interior space where a long sequence with black and white photography takes place, using a central composition with slow camera movements, which will accelerate as the development of the video progresses to end, in the streets of the city of London, mixing flashes of colour and noise.

The set design of the video uses one of the most recognizable surrealist icons: the eye, used in different planes that would recall films by Buñuel or productions by Dalí (one of the scenes is easily recognizable as a translation of Dalí's well-known sets for "Remember", by Hitchcock).
