Tricky’s latest single “Tribal Drums” from his upcoming False Idols album seems drawn from the same vein as his early work on seminal records like Pre-Millennium Tension and Maxinquaye. And just like previous single “Do It,” he brings on singer Francesca Belmonte to add a bit of depth and vocal contrast to the darker beats and electronic elements of the track. And while we don’t hear Tricky himself until the very end of the song, his fingerprints are unmistakably apparent, from the minimalist beats to the interplay between Belmonte’s voice and the subtly chugging guitar line that runs throughout the background. Check out the track below.
