Mark Pritchard & Thom Yorke’s cinematic adventure: New single ‘Gangsters’

Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke have teamed up to drop Gangsters, the latest taste of their much-anticipated collaborative album ‘Tall Tales’. If you haven’t already, cue it up now—and don’t miss the video that plunges you into Jonathan Zawada’s surreal, dream‑meets‑dystopia universe.

Even better? On May 8th, fans around the globe can catch a one‑night‑only cinema event: ‘Tall Tales’ on the big screen, a day before the album officially lands. It’s not your average concert film—the visuals, directed, animated, and edited by Zawada (who’s previously teamed up with everyone from Flume to Dua Lipa), play off Yorke’s eerie, pitch‑shifted vocals and Pritchard’s boundary‑free synth explorations, creating a mini‑movie that feels half‑myth, half‑warning.

You’ve already heard Back in the Game and This Conversation Is Missing Your Voice (the latter currently A‑listed on BBC Radio 6 Music), but Gangsters hits differently. Premiered this morning on Lauren Laverne’s show, its video peels back another layer of Zawada’s uncanny landscapes—think windswept ruins, uncanny creatures, and enough glitchy animation to make your pulse quicken.

The album itself drops May 9th on Warp Records in all the usual digital spots, plus a gorgeous 2LP gatefold on black vinyl (with a deluxe edition that tucks a 36‑page art and lyric booklet inside) and both standard and special CD runs. And if you snag a ticket to the screening? A handful of lucky attendees will walk away with an exclusive zine from Zawada, packed with sketches and the stories behind the sounds.
