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.
Tall Tales is a fairy tale for the modern world, depicting rising tides, kings and queens, amazon logistics and robotic arms under iridescent skies. Like all good fairy tales, this work edges light with the dark as Thom’s echoed chants intertwine with Mark’s shimmering electronics on top of Jonathan’s hyperreal environments. On Tall Tales, we hear seasoned musicians continue down the path of experimentation, juxtaposed with uneasy landscapes of natural beauty and the brutal aesthetics of a dystopian world. Through Yorke’s lyrics, Pritchard’s atemporal compositions and Zawada’s visuals, Tall Tales questions where our insatiable appetite for ‘progress’ might have landed us. A prophetic visual album, Tall Tales has been years in the making, but delivered right on time.
Presented by Warp Records, special event screenings of Tall Tales are being scheduled across the globe the day before the release of the new album. Be the first to hear (and see) the full album – only in cinemas.
Showing in partnership with friends at our local independent record store Jumbo Records.
