Description
Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke are set to release their debut album as a duo via Warp Records. Following Pritchards remixes for Radiohead, the pair struck upon an otherworldly synergy with the track Beautiful People, a centrepiece of Marks 2016 solo album Under The Sun. Now presenting a whole album, Tall Tales showcases Pritchards 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 Radioheads OK Computer-era digital FX while delving into dark, introspective storytelling. Also central to the project, visual collaborator Jonathan Zawadas artistry enhances the project with his hyperreal environments that blur the line between the organic and digital, juxtaposing uneasy landscapes of natural beauty with the brutal aesthetics of a dystopian Yorkes lyrics, Pritchards atemporal compositions and Zawadas visuals, Tall Tales questions where our insatiable appetite for progress might have landed us.
