Domino is proud to announce the return of one of British music's most audacious artists – Domino is proud to announce the return of one of British music's most audacious artists – Tricky.

Following some anonymity living in the Bronx with his Jamaican cousins then moving to LA, setting up a record label and making a film amongst other things, Tricky returns with his most personal album to date.

'Knowle West Boy' is his first release in 5 years and sums up everything that Tricky has accomplished since his classic 1995 Maxinquaye debut. Underpinning it all is a theme of rediscovery… the American exile rediscovering his love of dear old Blighty; the veteran rediscovering the joy of making music; the experienced player rediscovering the struggle of being Knowle West’s very own Tricky Kid, the weird but defiant teen outsider who knew that with enough lust for life you could become a superstar.

Knowle West is the area of Bristol that Tricky grew up in, and the base of his new single 'Council Estate', a twisted Specials-worshipping punk celebration of self belief and you can see the awesome new video at www.knowlewestboy.com.

Get to know the 'Knowle West Boy' better as Tricky describes own raw and eloquent words his personal journey arriving at the album.

'Knowle West Boy' tells you everything you always wanted to know about Tricky, over music that still sounds like no-one else on earth.

Damn it's good to have him back.

'Council Estate' will be available digitally on the 23rd of June and physically on the 30th of June – his new album 'Knowle West Boy' is released on Monday the 7th of July 2008 and on the 9th September in the US of A.
