Thom Yorke and Mark Pritchard have teamed up once more to create a new tune called “Back in the Game.”
Their latest piece is a follow-up to “Beautiful People,” which was part of Pritchard’s 2016 album, Under the Sun. Directed by Jonathan Zawada, the music video’s vibe is quite unique.
“Ultimately the film for ‘Back in the Game’ ended up depicting a sort of blind celebration taking place as civilization slowly deteriorates around it, a kind of progression through regression. Overlaid onto this is an exploration of how and where we choose to place value in our collective cultural expression and how we collectively confront major cultural shifts in the 21st century.” Zawada shared these thoughts about his vision.
Pritchard released his last solo album, The Four Worlds, back in 2018. Meanwhile, The Smile dropped two albums last year: Wall of Eyes and Cutouts.
Fans often find it fascinating when artists from different genres come together.
Zawada’s description makes me think about how much our world changes every day.
