Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke Release Music Video for New Track “Gangsters”: Watch Now
Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke Unleash Dark Visuals and Haunted Soundscapes in New Single “Gangsters”
In a captivating blend of electronic soundscapes and cerebral lyricism, Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke have dropped their latest single, “Gangsters,” from their eagerly anticipated collaborative album, Tall Tales. The song is now available for streaming, accompanied by a spine-chilling video directed by their often-unseen collaborator, Jonathan Zawada.
The single, which transports listeners through a labyrinth of eerie melodies and unsettling rhythms, continues the sonic experimentation that fans have come to expect from the duo. “Gangsters” follows previously released tracks “This Conversation Is Missing Your Voice” and “Back in the Game,” each offering a glimpse into the expansive soundworld of Tall Tales, set to be released on May 9 via Warp Records.
The accompanying video is a visual feast of surreal imagery, presenting a nightmarish scenario populated by a motley crew of marionette-like figures that dance and cavort in a plaza reminiscent of something pulled straight from a Hieronymus Bosch painting. Zawada’s direction lends a haunting quality to the narrative, intertwining fine art aesthetics with the avant-garde visual storytelling that is a signature element of Pritchard and Yorke’s work.
The album Tall Tales represents another milestone in the impressive catalog of these two genre-defying artists. Their previous collaborations have yielded memorable moments in the electronic landscape, and this latest endeavor promises to delve even deeper into the realms of abstraction and emotion. Notably, Zawada has also created a feature film to accompany the album, which is set to be screened in theaters on May 8, enticing viewers into an immersive experience that blurs the lines between audio and visual art.
As the release of Tall Tales approaches, anticipation is building not only for the music but for the multi-sensory experience that Pritchard, Yorke, and Zawada are crafting. The haunting sound of “Gangsters” may very well set the tone for what lies ahead on this ambitious project.
For those intrigued, “Gangsters” is available now on all streaming platforms, and the visually arresting music video can be found below. Prepare to lose yourself in the twisted narratives and ethereal soundscapes crafted by Pritchard and Yorke—an experience you won’t want to miss.
