A half-decade later, the collaboration journeys back into the isolation of that period and far beyond. (And the partnership shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise: Pritchard previously worked with Yorke on the 2016 track “Beautiful People.”)

“Tall Tales” captures their shared, endearing spirit of experimentation in a collection of dystopian, prog electronics that will satisfy fans of both artists.Across the album, Pritchard’s inventive productions often serve as a perfect foil for Yorke’s darker lyrics and mournful vocals.Pritchard is a synthesizer sommelier, too, utilizing classic vintage electronic instruments dating back many decades, such as the Arp Odyssey, Wurlitzer Sideman and the Minimoog.
