Tricky: Ununiform – COMPACT DISCS

Tricky returns with his thirteenth album, Ununiform – a delicate, storming, intricate collection that sees the artist 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. Tricky 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! 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.
