Reviews / Album

To top it all off, he has a phenomenal band behind him. Looking forward to the next album.

Feel could rub some die-hard fans the wrong way with such a massive change in their sound, but the band have delivered their most poignant and honest release to date.

So in many ways, the addition of multiple guest vocalists aside, False Idols is business as usual for Tricky – another unusual addition to an unusual catalogue.

This is a world that is foreign yet seductive, hallucinogenic and intoxicating.

No question, some of the harmonies here give you a bit of feeling, and there’s a few crunchy riffs that crash into you just the right way; but as a record Renacer doesn’t seem to know what it wants to be, which by the end leaves you just as confused.

One imagines this was a cathartic record for Griffin and here’s hoping it finds the audience who won’t just appreciate it, but truly utilise its emotional gravitas.

Perfection in sonic form.

Creative (out-of) control.

It could be said that !!!’s previous works were sitting at a fork in the road, with the choice to go one of two ways, and they’ve unashamedly chosen the dance road for Thr!!!er, backing up their decision with a heightened level of refinement and consideration.
