Thom Yorke has released his soundtrack to forthcoming tax avoidance documentary, UK Gold - featuring members of Elbow, Massive Attack and more. 

Concerning the ever contentious subject of tax avoidance and Britain's above and beyond involvement in the process (being involved in 50% of cases), the film is due to air on London Live tonight (Wednesday 25 February) at 8pm. It is directed by Mark Donne and narrated by actor Dominic West

It also features a stellar soundtrack by Yorke, which can be streamed via the UK Uncut website now. It features appearances from Elbow's Guy Garvey, Euan Dickinson, Radiohead's Johnny Greenwood and Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja.

Following the broadcast of the documentary UK Uncut will reportedly announce a "national public call out", aimed at the May general elections.

Yorke has previously spoken out about the underlying "hypocrisy" of the UK government in relation to tax and the city. He told NME: "For all the current government's talk of standards in the Financial Industry it comes as no surprise perhaps that the reality beneath reveals their staggering hypocrisy".

"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?"
