Jonathan Zawada | Mark Pritchard & Thom Yorke – Back in the Game
According to Zawada, Mark Pritchard & Thom Yorke’s Back in the Game ultimately portrays a “sort of blind celebration taking place as civilization slowly deteriorates around it, a kind of progression through regression”.Directed by Jonathan Zawada, the film, released on February 13, 2025, through Warp Records, presents a visually arresting and thematically rich experience. Its unsettling imagery of masked figures, inspired by the film Staying Alive but infused with a sinister and manic energy, prompts reflection on societal decay and contemporary cultural values.Pritchard, Yorke, and Zawada build on past successes with a video where the track’s “deranged bassline” and manipulated vocals shape the visual narrative. As the first look at their upcoming collaborative album Tall Tales, a “visual experience,” Back in the Game not only complements the single but hints at a deeper, interconnected audiovisual journey.
