Thom Yorke (of Radiohead and The Smile) and electronic musician / producer Mark Pritchard have announced their debut album together, “Tall Tales,” and released a new single from it, ‘This Conversation Is Missing Your Voice.’ Their debut album, “Tall Tales”, is due out May 9 via Warp Records.

Visual artist Jonathan Zawada is considered the third member of the “Tall Tales” album project. He designed the album’s cover artwork, directed the video for ‘This Conversation Is Missing Your Voice,’ and has made a feature-length film to accompany the album.

“Tall Tales,” Yorke’s first release on Warp Records, is a multi-layered, richly textured record that channels both multiple narratives and multiple genres. Across its eclectic 12 song runtime, the record showcases Pritchard’s mastery of archaic machines unearthed in synthesizer archives, guiding the music down unexpected and experimental paths. Yorke meanwhile delivers a haunting and expansive vocal performance, delving into dark, introspective storytelling.

The album will be released via a limited special black vinyl 2LP edition that includes a 36-page booklet featuring images designed by Zawada.
There will also be a limited special CD featuring the 36-page booklet.
