Deluxe edition 2LP with 36-page booklet

Gatefold outer jacket and printed inner sleeves

"Tall Tale" is a song and part of the album Tall Tales by Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke, scheduled for release on May 9, 2025 through Warp Records. The album was created in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, with Pritchard and Yorke exchanging work online. The album artwork and a feature-length film accompanying the album were created by visual artist Jonathan Zawada.

Fabled English record producer Mark Pritchard and 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.
