Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke – Gangsters

The duo shared a new single titled “Gangsters”. The track is taken from their highly anticipated forthcoming record “Tall Tales” (out May 9th via Warp Records), and follows the recent announcement of a special global cinema event on 8th May, in which fans will be able to hear the album alongside its accompanying feature film a day ahead of release – dates may vary for certain locations.

An effective third member of the group, Zawada – whose multi-faceted approach to melding analogue and digital techniques have seen him work alongside the likes of Coachella, Flume, The Avalanches, Royksopp, and Dua Lipa – directed, animated, and edited the “Tall Tales” visual experience.

The groundbreaking production was developed over the past few years in tandem with the evolution of the music, juxtaposing it with uneasy landscapes of natural beauty and the brutal aesthetics of a dystopian world. Through Yorke’s lyrics, Pritchard’s atemporal compositions and Zawada’s visuals, “Tall Tales” questions where our insatiable appetite for ‘progress’ might have landed us. A prophetic cinematic experience, “Tall Tales” has been years in the making, but delivered right on time.

This Is Pop? today’s song of the day is here for you.
