New Tricky!

Finally, something to really get excited about in my random ramblings! Tricky has a new album (this time I'm 90% sure it really is new) called Knowle West Boy. I must say, it is sa-weeet. Tricky is the granddaddy macdaddy father of trip hop, and he does not disappoint with this album. He seems to have taken a slightly different track than other great trip hop groups like Massive Attack and Portishead. His song construction is less experimental and more conforming to early trip hop style. However, his sound production and mixing don't disappoint and he still conveys an unparalleled etherealness and cool vibe in every track. I'm looking forward to exploring every little nuance to this album in the coming weeks. Right now I'm just smiling at having finished the first pass and feeling relieved that this man is still making music.
