Tricky: "Nothing's Changed"


With dream pop and shoegaze having mounted major comebacks in the last few years, can trip hop be far behind? Not as long as Tricky has anything to say about it. The nostalgia nod in the title of "Nothing's Changed" is meant to emphasize that he's back on some old Maxinquaye shit. With no disrespect to Francecsa Belmonte - the featured singer here - she's squarely in that Martina Topley-Bird mold.

Inga Copeland: "BMW"

Fresh off the Ebony project with partner Dean Blunt, Inga Copeland rolls out an old school Massive Attack-reminiscent trip hop jam. Not sure whether this is intended to be released under the moniker Cplnd - whether it's intended for an official release at all, really - or whether she named her Soundcloud page that just to be obtuse. Frankly I'm kinda tired of the whole Hebrew-ized "let's remove the vowels to be cool" trend anyway so I'm going with Inga Copeland for the post title. If someone wants to get one last inch of mileage out of the no vowel thing, how about coming up with a name that could actually be multiple words depending on which vowels you plugged in between the consonants? Y'all are too obvious.
