Tall Tales

Limited first edition Black 2LP vinyl in polylined paper inners, housed in casebound sleeve with printed sleeves held in front and back cover 36 page suspended booklet debossed cover with tipped in central imageFabled English record producer Mark Pritchard & luminary songwriter Thom Yorke present Tall Tales – a debut collaborative album 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 both 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 album, years in the making, but delivered right on time.
