Radiohead/The Smile frontman Thom Yorke and Mark Pritchard have announced a new collaborative album, Tall Tales, which will arrive May 9 via Warp Records. To mark the news, the duo has released a new single, the off-kilter, mesmerizing ‘This Conversation Is Missing Your Voice’, alongside a black-and-white music video directed by Jonathan Zawada. Check it out and find the album cover and tracklist below.
Discussing the new album, Yorke said:
Mark sent me a large file of Mp3s of ideas during lockdown,
There were so many great ones I knew straight away that i had to drop what i was doing.
It felt very much that i had not been anywhere like this before, both as soon as i put my headphones on and started trying to find the vocals, words and sounds, but also, as it progressed, watching Jonathan [Zawada] respond so freely and spontaneously with all his video and artwork ideas.
It was mental, and i feel lucky to have been involved.
I am looking forward to this finally coming out, Tall Tales is very important to me.
I hope people get it, and get to hear it!
‘This Conversation Is Missing Your Voice’ is the second single from Tall Tales, following ‘Back in the Game’. Pritchard and Yorke first worked together on ‘Beautiful People’, from the former’s 2016 LP Under the Sun.
