ALBUM: ‘MIXED RACE’ out 27th September 2010 |SINGLE: ‘MURDER WEAPON’ out 30th August | GIG: 10th October 2010 - Koko, London
Best known for his collaboration with Massive Attack on Blue Lines, Tricky previously released Knowle West Boy on Domino Records in 2008. Who better to describe his new album than the man himself. In Tricky’s own words: “The album’s called Mixed Race because being mixed race is the single biggest influence on my music. You sat down at the table in my house and you saw every colour. It’s made me much more open-minded than I could’ve been. I come from both worlds.”

The Fall have unveiled their first video for many years for the track Bury from their new album 'Your Future Our Clutter'. Directed by Thirtytwo (Dylan Southern and Will Lovelace), the video was shot on super slo-mo and is perhaps the most visually arresting and revealing Fall video of all time, a real classic. The video is being premiered in the UK on the Bury council website, as a nod to the town that inspired the song. The Fall are currently on tour.
