Tricky Headed to the U.S.

Major market tour supporting new album, due Sept. 9.

By Fred Mills

As previously announced, Tricky’s new album Knowle West Boy arrives Sept. 9 via Domino, and a few days prior to that he’ll arrive in the U.S. with his band to do a string of major-market dates. Full itinerary is below. He’s also slated to do the Letterman show on Sept. 3.

The press hype on the album:

Produced by Tricky, with Switch on mixing duties, Knowle West Boy is named after the urban ghetto where Tricky was raised. The album finds Tricky reaching into the post-punk, Two-Tone, reggae, hip hop and pure pop he grew up adoring and twisting it all into surreal songscapes; creating the most varied and accessible set of his career.  Knowle West Boy, was released last month in the UK to rave reviews. Q Magazine called the collection "vivacious", the NME  proclaims that  "Tricky's back" and Uncut states it's "his best album in at least a decade."
