Tricky launches new label, drops new album, both conveniently named False Idols

Gather round, kiddies! Like a slower, more musically-gifted Easter Bunny, Tricky comes around but once every few years. This time, though, there’s something different about the Bristol-born electronica wizard. Just look at this guy! He’s got a new album and oooooh giiiiiirl, is that a new label? Ohhhh yeaaaaah, that’s right: Tricky’s got his groove back.

False Idols is the name of both the legendary artist’s new record label and his new album, which features collaborations with Francesca Belmonte, Fifi Rong, Nneka, and The Antlers’ Peter Silberman. The album drops May 28, but before that release, fans can expect some non-album material on a couple of EPs featuring newly-signed False Idols label artists like Belmonte and Rong. Featuring Ms. Belmonte, the album track “Nothing’s Changed” has been blowing up the internet and can be heard right here:
