Thom Yorke & Mark Pritchard’s TALL TALES

Fabled English record producer Mark Pritchard, luminary songwriter Thom Yorke 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 and 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.
