Fans of Mark Pritchard, Thom Yorke and visual collaborator Jonathan Zawada over recent weeks began discovering an Instagram profile for a mysterious metalsmith going by the name of Marien Marcel. The account showed development sketches for the visual world of Tall Tales - the new album from Pritchard and Yorke, due Friday, 9th May.
Leading to speculation that this account was being run by someone inside the project, the profile showed the process of the melting down of fake works of art, purchased on eBay, and the subsequent forging of coins from the molten bronze.
Now, fans have started to discover these coins appearing in the real world.
Today, Mark Pritchard, Thom Yorke and Jonathan Zawada unveil Tall Tales: The Coins (Forge, Reforge, Forgery), a short film documenting the crafting of these coins. It forms part of the third element to the "Tall Tales" project, following the album being released last week, and the film premiered in cinemas on Thursday, 8th May.
Acting as breadcrumbs, leading the curious and willing to the stories, influences and layers of meaning embedded in the world of "Tall Tales", there are 400 hand-finished and individually numbered coins being dispersed around the world and hidden by a growing band of accomplices, so far including The Gallows Pole author Benjamin Myers and numerous record stores.
Lucky fans who find a coin can register their discovery coins and 71 have already been found throughout the world in locations such as cemeteries, historic landmarks, nature reserves, and more.
"Tall Tales", the new album from Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke is now available in a standard black vinyl 2LP gatefold edition and as a limited special black vinyl 2LP edition including a 36-page booklet featuring a wealth of images from the project and lyrics to all the tracks, carefully designed by Jonathan Zawada.
