    Tricky

    The Sinclair, 52 Church St, Cambridge · verified Oct 2
    See details

    Tricky brings his singular sound to The Sinclair for an all ages performance. The moment aligns with Different When It’s Silent, his first release under his own name in six years, arriving after a run of projects on his False Idols label that include Lonely Guest with contributors such as Oh Land, Marta Złakowska, Joe Talbot, Murkage Dave, Paul Smith, and Lee Scratch Perry, Fifteen Days with producer Mike Theis under the name Theis Thaws, and a joint album with Marta last year. The new material reflects a period marked by personal loss and a desire to work quietly, a direction that shifted when manager Alan McGee encouraged presenting these songs as a Tricky album. On the record, Bristol singer Mitch Sanders leads most of the vocals, with additional appearances by Red Run Rambo and Christian Pattemore. The set of songs spans guitar grit, shadowy electronics, and moments colored by strings and an operatic voice, and it includes a reimagined version of Dope Lemon’s Marinade. Marta joins Tricky on the closing track Out of Place. True to form, he continues to spotlight emerging voices from his community. In addition, twenty five cents from each ticket supports The Shout Syndicate, a Boston based volunteer effort that funds youth led arts programs through The Boston Foundation in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Arts and Culture.
