SPILL NEWS: TRICKY’S NORTH AMERICAN TOUR BEGINS THIS FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 18 | NEW ALBUM ‘DIFFERENT WHEN IT’S SILENT’ OUT VIA FALSE IDOLS

TRICKY’S NORTH AMERICAN TOUR BEGINS THIS FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 18

NEW ALBUM DIFFERENT WHEN IT’S SILENT OUT VIA FALSE IDOLS

Following sold-out UK and European tours, and select shows this summer, legendary artist and producer, Tricky, embarks on his first North American tour in eight years, beginning September 18th at Riot Fest. Mitch Sanders, and longtime-collaborator and solo artist, Marta Zlakowska, who feature on the new album, Different When It’s Silent, will be joining Tricky on all dates, and Marta will also be the opening act. Tickets are available from venues and on the Tricky website.

Different When It’s Silent, Tricky’s critically-acclaimed 15th studio album and first full-length release under his own name in six years, was released July 17th via his own label, False Idols. Recorded between his home in France and sessions in Bristol, the album reconnects with the distinctive sonic language that has defined Tricky’s work since his groundbreaking debut, Maxinquaye.

DIFFERENT WHEN IT’S SILENT ALBUM REVIEW

The album showcases Bristol vocalist Mitch Sanders, whose voice features prominently throughout. Sharing a similar background to Tricky, Sanders brings a sense of community to the record through their shared Bristol roots. Across fourteen tracks, Tricky moves fluidly between skeletal blues, distorted guitars, stark hip-hop rhythms and electronics. Described by Pitchfork as “the Tricky sound canonized” and Uncut as “one of Tricky’s finest”, Different When It’s Silent is a collision of reflection and restless experimentation, reconnecting Tricky with the sound and instinct that made him one of the most distinctive voices in modern music.
