Mark Pritchard & Thom Yorke‘s collaborative album Tall Tales will be out May 9 via Warp, and you can hear it a day early as part of a worldwide theatrical screening event for its accompanying visual album. That happens May 8 and tickets and theater locations are here.
The NYC screening happens at IFC Center (5/8) and tickets are on sale now.
As for the visual album, it was made by Australian artist Jonathan Zawada and here’s the synopsis for the film and album:
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 & 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.
You can watch the trailer for Tall Tales, and listen to two songs from it, below.
