Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke announce ‘Tall Tales’ special screening event

Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke have announced plans for a special global screening event for their album ‘Tall Tales’.

The duo will allow fans to listen to their record and watch an accompanying feature film on May 8, a day ahead of the LP’s official release. You can purchase tickets here.

Transmitted by Australian visual artist Jonathan Zawada, the ‘Tall Tales’ film is described as a “fairy tale for the modern world; depicting rising tides, kings & queens, amazon logistics and robotic arms under iridescent skies”. You can view a trailer for the film below.

Some fans that attend the screenings will also receive a zine compiled and designed by Zawada, which gives a unique insight into the concepts and inspirations running through the film and album.

The album has been described as a “multi-layered, richly textured record that channels both multiple narratives and multiple genres” and promises to showcase “Pritchard’s mastery of archaic machines unearthed in synthesizer archives, guiding the music down unexpected and experimental paths,” across the 12 songs that make it up.

So far, two singles have been released from the record – ‘Back In The Game‘ and ‘This Conversation Is Missing Your Voice‘.

The album will be available digitally as well as on a standard black vinyl 2LP gatefold edition and a limited edition black vinyl 2LP edition. The latter will include a 36-page booklet featuring a wealth of images from the project and lyrics to all the tracks, carefully designed by Zawada. A standard CD edition and a limited special CD accompanied by the 36-page booklet will also be available. You can pre-order ‘Tall Tales’ here.

The project marks the latest collaborative work from the Radiohead frontman and electronic producer Pritchard, after their track ‘Beautiful People’ in 2016.

Elsewhere, Yorke recently shared a live version of ‘Back In The Game’, recorded in Sydney earlier this month.
