Tricky Sounds Energized on Latest Blues-Infused Album
21 Jul
Summary
- Tricky's 15th album explores parental grief with a new sound.
- Features new vocalist Mitch Sanders alongside guest appearances.
- The album blends blues, post-punk, and electronic influences.
Tricky, a foundational figure in trip-hop, has released his 15th studio album, "Different When It's Silent," more than three decades after his solo debut. This new record sees the artist embracing a bluesier, more guitar-driven sound, a departure from the electronic textures of his 2020 release, "Fall to Pieces."
The album features new vocal partner Mitch Sanders, whose pure falsetto provides a distinct counterpoint to Tricky's raw vocal style. While the first half leans into a modern post-punk feel, with songs like "Paris Maybe" evoking Massive Attack's "Mezzanine," the latter half experiments with more eclectic sounds. Highlights include the powerful "Out of Place" and the emotionally charged "Because I Don't Know."
