Thom Yorke and Mark Pritchard unite on new single, "Back In The Game"
Pioneering electronic musician and producer Mark Pritchard and The Smile and Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke have shared a new collaborative single, "Back In The Game".
The new single, "Back In The Game", is the second time the two have collaborated on record, following the acclaimed "Beautiful People", which appeared on Mark Pritchard's Under The Sun solo album for Warp Records in 2016.
The song is paired to a video by Jonathan Zawada, a visual artist who says, "On first hearing the original demo of Back In The Game I was immediately struck by the deranged bass line that made me think of the final scene of Staying Alive where John Travolta is cockily strutting through the New York streets but I saw it with a more sinister overlay. Slowly a version of that visual arose around a character wearing a kind of giant parade head with a fixed expression of mania stuck on their face, such that you couldn't tell if their endless march was one of aggression or celebration"
"Back In The Game" is out now via Warp Records.
