A Visionary Fusion of Sound + Image
Helmed by acclaimed visual artist Jonathan Zawada, ‘Tall Tales’ isn’t just an album—it’s a fully realized cinematic journey. Zawada, known for his innovative blend of analog and digital techniques (working with Coachella, Flume, The Avalanches, Röyksopp, and Dua Lipa), directed, animated, and edited this mesmerizing visual experience.
Developed alongside the album over several years, ‘Tall Tales’ contrasts haunting natural landscapes with the stark brutality of a dystopian future. With Yorke’s evocative lyrics, Pritchard’s intricate electronic compositions, and Zawada’s striking imagery, the project explores the consequences of unchecked “progress.” The result? A prophetic and immersive film—arriving precisely when we need it most.
