Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke have shared a new song. “Back in the Game” is the second collaboration between the electronic musician and the Radiohead and Smile frontman, following “Beautiful People,” which appeared on Pritchard’s 2016 album, Under the Sun. Watch the track’s video, directed by Jonathan Zawada, below.
Zawada said in a press release, “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.”
Pritchard’s last album under his own name, The Four Worlds, came out in 2018. Last year, the Smile shared two records: Wall of Eyes and Cutouts.
