Mark Pritchard & Thom Yorke - Tall Tales - 5 Available

Through Yorke’s lyrics & Pritchard’s atemporal compositions, their debut album as a duo questions where our insatiable appetite for ‘progress’ might have landed us.
Following Pritchard’s remixes for Radiohead, the pair struck upon an otherworldly synergy with the track ‘Beautiful People’, a centrepiece of Mark’s 2016 solo album, 'Under The Sun'. Now presenting a whole album, 'Tall Tales' showcases Pritchard’s mastery of archaic machines that he had previously unearthed in synthesizer archives, guiding the music down unexpected and experimental paths. Yorke meanwhile delivers a haunting and expansive vocal performance, evoking Radiohead’s 'OK Computer'-era digital FX while delving into dark, introspective storytelling.

Also central to the project, visual collaborator, Jonathan Zawada’s, artistry enhances the album with his hyper-real environments that blur the line between the organic and digital, juxtaposing uneasy landscapes of natural beauty with the brutal aesthetics of a dystopian world.
