Ahead of delivering an anticipated debut albumthe Smile — the new band of Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Jonny Greenwood, and Sons of Kemet's Tom Skinner — have shared tracks "The Smoke" and "You Will Never Work in Television Again." Until that full-length arrives, the trio are giving fans a chance to spin those two singles on a super-limited 7-inch vinyl record.

Here's the catch: the one-time 7-inch pressing of "The Smoke" and "You Will Never Work in Television Again" can only be won via a free, worldwide lottery which fans can enter with "free lottery tickets at select record stores across the globe" beginning tomorrow (March 12).

A total of 33 Canadian record stores from coast to coast are participating. You can look below to see if your favourite spot to dig is involved, while the complete list of record stores participating in the Smile's 7-inch single lottery can be found here.

The lottery officially closes on March 24 at 11:59 p.m. GMT.

Last year saw Yorke, Greenwood and their Radiohead bandmates reflect on releases past with KID A MNESIA, a retrospective collection that brings together sister albums Kid A and Amnesiac. Skinner, meanwhile, released Black to the Future with Sons of Kemet.
