Adrian Thaws

Tricky

A restless, high-energy update to the Bristol sound. Murky club beats collide with jagged guitars and Tricky's signature claustrophobic whispers.

Find on Amazon

It's Tricky in a Berlin club at 3 AM - faster, louder, and just as paranoid as ever.

A high-tension urban prowl that balances club-ready energy with claustrophobic paranoia.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarring transition from the skeletal beat of Sun Down into the heavy, distorted bass of Lonnie Listen.
The way the female guest vocals on Nicotine Love provide a sweet, melodic counterpoint to the track's underlying grime.
The sudden, haunting silence that punctuates the end of the Unloved skit before the next beat drops.
