Electronic Sound

Electronic Sound Issue 125 spotlights the highly anticipated collaboration between Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke, coinciding with the release of their album Tall Tales. This issue features an in-depth interview with Pritchard and Yorke, exploring the album’s creation, their thoughts on technology, identity, and artificial intelligence. Tall Tales is described as a cryptic, genre-blurring journey-echoing the golden era of Warp Records and the digital unease of ‘OK Computer’, likened to a haunted fairytale where Brothers Grimm meets ‘Black Mirror’.

The magazine comes bundled with an exclusive turquoise seven-inch vinyl, featuring “The Men Who Dance In Stag’s Heads”-a standout from Tall Tales that finds Yorke trading his signature falsetto for near-spoken word, set against Pritchard’s harmonium drones and Velvet Underground-inspired percussion. The B-side offers an instrumental version available nowhere else, making this a unique collector’s item for readers.

Beyond the cover story, Issue 125 includes:

• An interview with Richard Fearless on the first Death In Vegas album in nearly a decade.

• Anja Huwe of Xmal Deutschland reflecting on her 4AD years.

• Features on The Moonlandingz, Dubstar, Mixmaster Morris, and China Crisis.

• A photo essay documenting the Radiophonic Workshop’s final BBC session at Maida Vale Studios, marking the end of an era with a new sample library

• .Available as limited magazine & vinyl bundle, Issue 125 is a must-have for fans of electronic music and collectors alike
