Over the summer, trip-hop pioneer Tricky announced that he would be releasing an autobiography called 'Hell Is Round the Corner'. He's now shared a trailer for the book ahead of its October 31st release.
The autobiography takes its name from a track that featured on Tricky's 1995 debut album, 'Maxinquaye'. The book will see him look over his career from its early years until now, and also touches upon his mother’s suicide when he was a child as well as other events that influenced his life and work.
'Hell Is Round the Corner' was written by Tricky in collaboration with music journalist Andrew Perry. Contributions also come from family, friends, industry insiders and similarly rebellious music heads such as Happy Mondays' Shaun Ryder.
Tricky was known as an early collaborator of Massive Attack's whose work was also the subject of a book earlier this year called 'Out of the Comfort Zone'.

The work feature interviews with names including Tricky and members of Portishead, Smith & Mighty, Roni Size.
The author, Melissa Chemam, charts the development of the band alongside the wider Bristol music scene over a number of decades, tracing roots back to the 1960s and 70s before moving through the outfit's efforts to produce timeless albums such as 'Blue Lines' and 'Mezzanine'.
In addition to the musical journey and evolution, the book includes sections on Massive Attack's numerous art projects, and the launch was set to involve a conversation between Chemam and journalist Miranda Sawyer at the British Library in London on 14th March. Take a look at what the author has to say about her work, the band and their role in safeguarding a counter-history of modern British and world politics on her blog.
