One of the fathers of Bristols trip-hop scene has teamed up with Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie for his new release Mixed Race, recorded in his hometown Paris.
The album is said to be his most honest to date, dealing with themes of race and belonging, as he reveals his life has been spent between cultures. Ever the humble performer, Tricky says “Every album is a learning experience and this is concentrated music, there’s no dilution. I’m comfortable in my own skin now, comfortable with being in the light. I’m not just a kid from Knowle West trying to build a future, I have some experience, I can experiment, I can be honest, and honestly, musically, I can’t be touched.” Mixed Race is released through UK label Domino Records on 27th September.
