Radiohead’s Thom Yorke has announced details of a new album, a collaboration with electronic artist Mark Pritchard.
The pair will release Tell Tales on May 9 via Warp in May, also featuring visual artist Jonathan Zawada. It’s being previewed today (March 12) by new single ‘This Conversation Is Missing Your Voice’.
It comes after the collaboration was recently teased with a first single, ‘Back in the Game’, which came out last month.
Watch the pair’s video for below.
Elsewhere, 2025 will also see Yorke debut a new play fusing Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Radiohead’s 2003 album, Hail to the Thief.
Hamlet Hail to the Thief will get its world premiere at the Aviva Studios in Manchester next month, before transferring to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.
Yorke worked on the adaptation with Christine Jones and Steven Hoggett, with the play described as “a dynamic new version of Hamlet where Shakespeare’s words are illuminated by Radiohead’s album Hail to the Thief re-worked by Yorke and performed live by a cast of musicians and actors.”
Yorke said: “This is an interesting and intimidating challenge! Adapting the original music of Hail to The Thief for live performance with the actors on stage to tell this story that is forever being told, using its familiarity and sounds, pulling them into and out of context , seeing what chimes with the underlying grief and paranoia of Hamlet, using the music as a ‘presence’ in the room, watching how it collides with the action and the text. Ghosting one against the other.”
Hamlet Hail to the Thief will premiere at Aviva Studios from April 27-May 18, 2025, and at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre from June 4-28. Tickets go on sale at 10am on October 2 here and here.
