Tricky - Different When It's Silent (Vinyl LP)

Tricky's New 2026 Studio Album Different When It's Silent on LP.

The legendary artist and producer Tricky has announced his new album, Different When It’s Silent, out July 17, 2026 via False Idols.

His 15th studio album and first full-length release under his own name in six years, Different When It’s Silent is a direct, focused record that reconnects with the distinctive sonic language that has defined Tricky’s work since his groundbreaking 1995 debut, Maxinquaye.

Since 2020’s Fall to Pieces the musician has released an album, and accompanying self-directed film, under the name Lonely Guest, an all-star 2021 project that included contributions from Oh Land, Marta Złakowska, Idles’ Joe Talbot, Murkage Dave, Maxïmo Park’s Paul Smith and, in one of his final appearances on record, Lee “Scratch” Perry. Three years later came Fifteen Days, a collaborative album from the artist born Adrian Thaws and producer Mike Theis, under the name Theis Thaws. Then, last year, he and Marta released joint album, Out the Way. All of those projects came out via False Idols, the label he founded in 2013. You can’t say Tricky’s not been busy.
