In support of forthcoming full-length False Idols, Tricky is set to do a short tour of North America.

The pioneering Bristolian surprised us with his two recent singles ‘Tribal Drums‘ and ‘Does It‘, and they’re both great indicators that we’re in for a treat when False Idols finally drops. In the meantime it’s probably worth grabbing tickets for one of these shows; with a catalogue like Tricky’s there’s no way it won’t be good value for money.

FACT recently interviewed the illusive producer, who volunteered characteristically colourful views on record labels, Margaret Thatcher, Beyonce and much more. Take a look at part one here and part two here.
