It was recorded in Tricky’s home studio in London, where he’s living again after almost two decades in New York, Los Angeles and Paris, and features an international crew of collaborators: Francesca Belmonte, Nneka, Mykki Blanco, Bella Gotti, Tirzah, Blue Daisy and Oh Land.

It’s a delicate, storming, intricate album that sees Tricky take perhaps his most radical step yet – a journey into happiness and contentment. It’s a record that shows the legendary British producer confront his legacy, history, family – even death itself. And in all of this, he finds the strangest, least familiar thing – peace.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is the first album-proper made since Tricky moved to Berlin, three years ago. While many people move to the clubbing capital of Europe to party, this was a clean break, in every sense of the word. “I like it here because I don't know anybody. I eat good food, I go for walks, I've got a bike. I’m trying to look after myself. I don’t drink here. Some people call it boring, but I wake at 9am and I'm asleep by 11 o’clock at night. I’m looking after myself.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThough most of ununiform was made in his adopted capital, four tracks were recorded in a city further east, the capital of Russia. “Moscow is my favourite city in the world,” he says. “I didn’t want to spend Christmas at home, so in December 2016 I spent three weeks there recording and eating Russian food.” The four tracks made in the dead of winter in Moscow feature collaborations with local\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003erappers and producers. “I've been listening to Russian rap for 20 years. I love those accents, so I've always wanted a Russian rapper on my album.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe rappers and producers he worked with are among the most famous and critically acclaimed in Russia. Among them is Scriptonite, who MCs on the knotty ‘Blood Of My Blood’ and ‘Same As It Ever Was’. Vasiliy Vakulenko, one of the country’s most popular rappers, made the beat for graceful, gaseous single ‘The Only Way’. Rapper Smoky Mo appears on digital rap workout ‘Bang Boogie’, a tune produced by Gazgolder, the owner of one of Russia’s best and biggest rap labels. All this without Tricky speaking Russian. “I don't need to understand what they’re rapping. I could just feel it. People live like everyday is their last day, and I like that.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThough the album is more settled and at peace with life than any other that Tricky has recorded, it’s also one shot through with references to the end of life, from the raving, synth-led ‘Dark Days’ to the single ‘When We Die.’ “Word to the wise: I don't want to die young,” Tricky explains. “But my first memory was seeing my mother dead in her coffin in my family house. I'd go in, stand on the chair and look at her. So I’m saying to that kid on the chair, ‘it's going to be OK. You're going to tour the world, you're going to make music, and the good life is going to come in.’ If you don't accept death, you don't really accept life.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTricky also credits much of the freedom of ununiform to something more grounded: “This album now is the first album I've made (in years) which isn’t going to pay off some kind of debt. So it's more relaxed!” Referring to his previous albums, False Idols, Adrian Thaws, and the Skilled Mechanics project, he says “I was doing these records thinking ‘the quicker I do this album, the quicker I pay off the tax people.’ So ununiform has been very chilled out. Now, I own the label, I pay for everything myself. I'm a truly independent artist. Now I do what I want. Freedom is a beautiful thing.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInterestingly, the effect of this new-found financial freedom, and a newly healthy lifestyle, has led to Tricky turning back to his classic sound – perhaps the final frontier for such an inveterate experimentalist. “I've got nothing to prove now, and I'm comfortable with referencing myself.” Indeed, he’s since described lead single ‘The Only Way’ as “Hell is Round The Corner, Part 2”. This sensation is perhaps a response to a wave of artists referencing Tricky’s ‘90s records and his approach, from The xx to boundary-pushing London rappers Gaika and CASisDEAD, the latter of which Tricky recently collaborated with. “I've got a really wide audience. So I've got nothing to prove. I feel like sometimes it's OK to do it again.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this spirit of revisiting the past, ununiform also sees the return of previous collaborators Francsca Belamonte as well as former girlfriends Asia Argento and Martina Topley-Bird. ‘New Stole’ is a fresh take on ‘Stole’, a song from Italian singer Belmonte’s Tricky-produced and False Idols–released 2015 album Anima. Martina was the vocalist on Tricky’s era-defining debut album, Maxinquaye, released one month before their daughter was born, and featured on his follow-up albums Nearly God (1996), Pre-Millennium Tension (1996), and Angels with Dirty Faces (1998). Since this extraordinary streak of albums, their relationship has been less fruitful musically – this is the first time that they’ve worked together on a record since Tricky guested on Martina’s Mercury-nominated solo album Quixotic (2003). Yet Tricky is keen to stress that her vocal on the sumptuous ‘When We Die’ is less of an emotional reunion than it appears at first glance. Tricky stresses that though their musical collaboration elapsed over a decade ago, they’ve been in constant contact through raising their daughter. “This situation happened through actually having the time to do it. I said to Martina ‘it would be great if you were on the album,’ and it happened really naturally, with her sending her vocal in an email. My managers realise it's a big deal and that it would be to listeners, but it’s not to us”. With Asia Argento, the actress Tricky dated for a year in LA, and appears on the delicate, trembling and achingly beautiful ‘Wait For Signal’, it was a similarly relaxed affair: “it was really easy working with her because I knew her well and she'll try anything. If I said to her this song is really unfinished, it's not where I want it to be yet, but try something, she’d go for it. You've really got to be able to take a risk.” Yet Tricky is still eager to discover and collaborate with emerging talent. Enter female vocalists Terra Lopez (part of the group Rituals of Mine) who features on ‘Armor’, Mina Rosa who features on album highlight ‘Running Wild’, and Avalon Lurks who delivers the vocal on the cover of Hole’s 1994 song ‘Doll Parts’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere’s one final emotional return that took place over the last three years – Tricky’s reconnection with his family’s history in Bristol’s soundsystem culture, and the discovery that his granddad was legendary (and the stupendously named) reggae DJ Tarzan The High Priest. Back in 1965, when the first wave of Afro-Caribbean immigrants were making their home in the port city of Bristol, Tarzan set up one of the city’s first soundsystems – a glorious if under-reported history that was uncovered through Bristol Soundsystem Culture, a landmark exhibition in Tricky’s hometown. “My granddad made a record and in those days it was a big thing. He was a well-known artist before I was born, and changed English music in ways we don’t even know.” Tricky’s tough family life has long been the subject of psychological speculation on the part of critics and fans – his mother killed herself when Tricky was four, and he was raised in a series of foster homes. But this revelation of a lost musical great in the family has transformed Tricky’s life. “I reconnected with my father’s side of the family during the recording of this album, and in a way, the fact that I'm coming from good lineage made me feel good coming into this album. I’m from a line of kings. That feels good.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt one point, he asks a rhetorical question: “People say this album sounds like ‘Tricky’ … But what does that actually sound like?”. Ununiform, then, is a glorious, beautiful, intensely personal attempt to answer that question.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"False Idols","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":57683183108470,"sku":"K7S350LPC","price":26.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":57683183599990,"sku":"K7S350CD","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"WAV","offer_id":57697427652982,"sku":"K7S350D","price":11.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/3091\/7750\/files\/a1693149167_10.jpg?v=1776260566"},{"product_id":"tricky-hell-is-round-the-corner-paper-back-autobiography","title":"Tricky - Hell Is Round The Corner Pape  (Autobiography)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTricky's acclaimed autobiography 'Hell is Round The Corner', published by Blink in 2019, is available from 20th August in a paper-back edition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"False Idols","offers":[{"title":"Book","offer_id":57683186385270,"sku":"TRIUK004A-BOOK-1","price":8.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/3091\/7750\/files\/200351-3.jpg?v=1776260181"},{"product_id":"tricky-notebook","title":"RICKY x BRISTOL MIND Deluxe Notebook Set","description":"\u003cdl class=\"info-list\"\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eAll profits will be donated to local mental health charity Bristol Mind\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet contains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA5 lined notebook in navy blue with soft feel hard cover; debossed with Tricky logo on front, Bristol Mind logo on rear.

Three years later came Fifteen Days, a collaborative album from the artist born Adrian Thaws and producer Mike Theis, under the name Theis Thaws. Then, last year, he and Marta released joint album, Out The Way. All of those projects came out via False Idols, the label he founded in 2013. You can’t say Tricky’s not been busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut Different When It’s Silent is the first Tricky album in six years with bad reason, too. In 2019 his daughter died suddenly. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“To be honest with you, since my daughter died, I want to work,” Tricky begins, “I want to do stuff. But all the press, being on camera, everything just changed when she died. I've never been a pop star as such but: that made me even more want to go in the background.”\u003cbr\u003ePointing to Fall to Pieces, released the year after her passing, he says that “I was in pieces when I made that album. It was almost like I had to get that out of me. And then after that, I was more worried about Marta's album or the label. So, I wouldn't say I was reluctant to release music under my own name. But I wasn't that interested, to be honest. I didn't have the motivation. Releasing an album under your name, you got to do certain stuff. I can bring out a side-project with no press, no photographs, no videos, no tour, nothing at all. It's easy.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen, in 2025, Tricky’s new manager Alan McGee heard the songs the Bristolian had been working on at his new home in France and in the studio in Bristol. In Tricky’s mind, this was to be another side-project. “Then Alan come to my house and I played it to him. He goes: ‘Mate, this is a Tricky album. This is the best thing since Maxinquaye. This has got to be a Tricky album.’ It was Alan who convinced me to put it out as a Tricky album.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat wasn’t managerial hyperbole, ass-kissing or smoke-blowing: Different When It’s Silent is, no question, the best Tricky album since his groundbreaking 1995 debut. Tight, taut, focused, real, raw, rich, melodic, melancholic, defiant, textured, layered, provocative, grief-stricken, joy-bringing – this 15th studio album is Tricky’s musicianship at its confident, thrilling, no-one-else-sounds-like-this best. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderscoring that idea of a full-circle moment is the first line of the first track. The skeletal blues of “Still See Me There” opens with “make me want to die”. It’s a callback to “Makes Me Wanna Die”, a track from Pre-Millennium Tension, the 1996 third album that followed the same year’s Nearly God (on which Tricky was joined by Björk, Alison Moyet, Neneh Cherry, Terry Hall and more) and capped an incredible 21-month opening burst from the musician. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Yeah, that is deliberate,” he says. “Especially because it's a man singing it. This is the first album I've done with mostly male vocals. There's only one female vocal on this, Marta. So that's deliberate for a man singing 'make me want to die'. It just changes things.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat male vocalist is young Bristolian singer-songwriter Mitch Sanders. He’s signed to Island, the label Tricky was with for those first few albums. But that’s not how Tricky knows him: he’s the son of a friend of one of his best mates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Mitch is like a nephew. He's someone I'd hang out with when I was at school. We'd have been playing football together, going to pubs together. Mitch goes to the same pubs I went to when I was growing up. His dad went to the same clubs I went to. It's all the same community.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“So he was the right guy. He's not like an artist – he's like a Hengrover, a Knowle Wester,” he continues, referring to their respective and adjacent Bristol neighbourhoods. “Massive Attack, love all those guys,” Tricky goes on, referring, of course, to the crew he started out with. “But we were not from the same environment. So ’cause Mitch and me are from the same environment, that's what made it work.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat, and Sanders’ stunning voice. He’s there, leaning in soulfully, over crunching guitar riffs, on the urgent “I’m Yours”. His eerie, pained falsetto floats over the electro throb of “Because I Don't Know”, singing, \"Can you feel my pain? Do you feel the same? Just let me know. Just let me know,” as Tricky’s shadow vocals lurk in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSanders is joined on the sinuous, sensual “Be Still in the Pain” by Red Run Rambo, a rapper from Bristol. “Really good lad,” says Tricky. “He spent a long time in prison, and now he does a lot of social work. He goes into prisons and talks to kids. Very positive youth.”\u003cbr\u003eSanders takes the lead in a different way on “Paris Maybe”. “That's Mitch's song. To me it was a no-brainer, but Island didn't want it. When I heard it, I thought: that's a pop vocal. So if I do the music, it don't have to be pop to get close to pop. So I took the vocals and redid the music.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeas, inspirations and collaborators came from all directions. There is an inspired cover of “Marinade” by Dope Lemon, the side-project of Angus Stone (“I fucking loved that song for years”), with largely new lyrics by Tricky. The track “Piano” features an opera singer. “Marinade” has a violinist and cellist. “So Cold” features drum’n’bass-adjacent production. The gnarly funk of “Frontier Town” foregrounds the vocals of Christian Pattemore from Forgotton Pharaohs, aka the guy who was driving McGee around Los Angeles one time. “Christian said something what made me piss myself laughing. I just thought he was a funny, interesting guy. And he said he does music. So I asked him to send me some of his stuff. He sent me that and I just redid the music.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs ever, Tricky is pulling talent and inspiration from anywhere and everywhere. That, he says with a shrug, is just how he’s always, instinctively done it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Making music is an opportunity for artists to bring someone along. I feel like that's part of the career. Back in the days, you always had artists bringing up other artists, not-so-known artists supporting on tour. I always feel like it's good to bring someone who's not known. Who's not a famous actress or a famous singer or a famous this or a famous that. Just people around you. And it's easier. And it's just a good vibe.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough this all, though, like darkness making light seem brighter, is a seam of loss, of absence, of pain. “I’m Yours” is a full-on rock track that bubbles with grief, sadness and anger. “I've had emotional loss, but I've never had emotional loss and mental loss,” says Tricky. “I really lost my mind. Nothing looked the same, nothing tasted the same, nothing sounded the same. So, yeah, I suppose, there is some anger on that track.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album ends with the charged and charging “Out of Place”, Tricky sharing vocals with Marta. \"I sing for my daughter,” he says, a simple, powerful, direct message that’s a full-stop on the 15 tracks. Originally written for Marta’s album, Tricky reclaims the song with renewed energy.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Her vocals are mellow, different. And it's almost like punk, my vibe. I knew it had to be the last track. The only female vocal on the album, and it's the last track, and it's me talking about my daughter. It's a great way to end the album. And then I can move on to doing other things. There will always be lyrics about my daughter in my songs. But it won't be way so heavy. I can move on.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent When It’s Silent, then: the first Tricky album in six years, for all the reasons, good and bad, in the world. And now?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Emotionally, I'm saying I'm ready to start my life again. I'm looking forward to touring. I want to record. I was emotionally paralysed. Now I'm moving again. And sonically, this lets people know: if you have your own sound, you'll never go out of fashion. When genres come and go, you'll still be there. This album says that – nothing sounds like it.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite it all, because of it all, Tricky is grateful, too. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I'm thankful to be able to do this for a living. I'm very grateful for the opportunity I've gotten to live this life and make music. I just love it. I adore going in the studio. I don't have to answer my phone. It's real freedom. So I cannot wait to do more. But Alan's slowing me down – because I want to do a Nearly God album again, but call it Nearly Good! And Alan's like: ‘Alright, let's do that in ’27, mate!’ But, you know,” he concludes, grinning wide, “I just love making music.” \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the life-celebrating Different When It’s Silent, it wholly, vividly, brilliantly sounds like it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"False Idols","offers":[{"title":"Color Signed LP","offer_id":57699549348214,"sku":"FI002LPC-SIGNED","price":28.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Color LP","offer_id":57772323406198,"sku":"FI002LPC","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":57699548004726,"sku":"FI002LP","price":22.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":57699549512054,"sku":"FI002CD","price":12.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"WAV","offer_id":57705412133238,"sku":"FI002D","price":11.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/3091\/7750\/files\/FI002_FI002D_Artwork.jpg?v=1776541027"},{"product_id":"tricky-the-obia-ep","title":"Tricky - The Obia EP","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ‘OBIA EP’ is Tricky’s latest release, out via his own False Idols imprint on Sept 30th.

Both him and Syava, who contributes the track “Nenaviju Izmenu”, are Russian artists that struck up a strong relationship with Tricky, once again on his travels and have now been provided with a platform to shine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNext up, Tricky provides Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja (a\/k\/a 3D) an opportunity to showcase a new track entitled\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e‘For Nothing’, produced by Del Naja and Euan Dickinson under the name Euanwhosarmy and featuring the vocals of Lynsey Lupe.
