Thom Yorke has contributed music to the soundtrack of a new documentary about tax havens - slamming the UK government for the 'staggering hypocrisy' of its role in tax avoidance.
The UK Gold is a documentary directed by Mark Donne and narrated by actor Dominic West - detailing the history and impact of tax avoidance. Scored by Radiohead's Thom Yorke and Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja, the film also features music from Elbow's Guy Garvey, Rose Elinor Dougall and former Libertines member Anthony Rossomando.
It will air on London Live on 25 February.
"For all the current governments talk of standards in the Financial Industry it comes as no surprise perhaps that the reality beneath reveals their staggering hypocrisy," Yorke told NME.
"Now is the time to reveal the revolving doors between government and the City that has bred lies and corruption for so long, siphoning money through our tax havens for the global super rich, while now preaching that we the people must pay our taxes and suffer austerity.
"Just who does our government work for?"

Meanwhile, Thom Yorke has been busy in the studio with Radiohead since September. New material is hopefully due to drop later this year after drummer Phil Selway said the album was 'coming along nicely'.
