Thom Yorke & Mark Pritchard's 'Tall Tales'

Thom Yorke & Mark Pritchard's 'Tall Tales'

Fabled English record producer Mark Pritchard, luminary songwriter Thom Yorke (Radiohead) and groundbreaking visual artist Jonathan Zawada present TALL TALES – a debut collaborative visual and audio cinema experience a decade in the making.

Landscapes of synth-pop, prog, dub, 70s synth, Joe Meek, Ivor Cutler, Library, kraut and classic Warp™️ – TALL TALES sounds like musicians meeting in the Hinterland. Transmitted by Australian visual artist Jonathan Zawada, TALL TALES is a fairy tale for the modern world; depicting rising tides, kings & queens, amazon logistics and robotic arms under iridescent skies. We wanted computers to do our accounting – instead, they try to paint our pictures and sing our songs. Like all good fairy tales – this work edges light with the dark as Thom's echoed chants intertwine with Mark's shimmering electronics. On TALL TALES, we hear seasoned musicians continue down the path of experimentation.

A prophetic visual album, TALL TALES has been years in the making, but delivered right on time.
