Album Notes & Community Reviews
Released after a lengthy hiatus, this darkly textured project prominently features the return of founding member Tricky alongside newer vocal collaborators like Young Fathers. The production heavily updates their signature paranoid urban soundscapes with skittering, modern rhythmic sensibilities. It successfully proved the veteran trip-hop collective's continued relevance in contemporary experimental electronic music.
