Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International

For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of Awake – his second LP for Ghostly International – the solo project has evolved into a three-piece band. Relating closer to post-rock than ambient soundscapes, the record is situated in the present, sounding more like Hansen than drawing from his influences. “This is, in many ways, the first true Tycho record.”

Following 2011’s Dive LP, the San Francisco-based designer toured extensively, and with a full band on stage, his sound coalesced into a percussive, organic whole. Zac Brown (guitars, bass) rejoined Scott on the road for this tour, but it was the particular addition of Rory O’Connor’s live drumming that ultimately sent Hansen back to the studio with a more precise vision. “After the tour, I decided that I wanted to capture the more energetic, driven sound of the live show on the next album,” Hansen recalls. Bringing musicians into Tycho’s creative process was a step towards expanding his own songwriting and advancing the project beyond its current sound.

In a cabin near Tahoe last winter, Zac and Scott began fleshing out the structure of the new record, but it wasn’t until they set up shop in the hills of Santa Cruz with Rory that it all fell into place. “It crystallized the vision of how the drums would come to the forefront on this record,” says Hansen. The sound was much more stripped-down and concise with more organic instruments in the fold. Songs like “Montana” and “Awake” are a departure from Tycho’s previous material – unique to the group effort poured into the songs on the new record – while “See” and “Dye” echo ideas from previous works, bridging a middle ground between the old and new. Working with Count Eldridge, who also engineered Dive, the team could fixate on the pulses that Tycho might previously layer under synthesizers and exhume them with distinct bass and guitar patterns.

Also known for his design work as ISO50, Hansen’s visual and sonic efforts have dovetailed throughout the course of his career. “This is the first time in my life I've dropped everything to focus on one artistic pursuit,” notes Hansen. Previous Tycho releases came to fruition when an amalgam of songs were nearing completion, but Awake is where music becomes the focus and true expression becomes the result.

Awake

Long White Road

This is what I do when I'm playing out with my mates "The Rusty Nails Band"


Flood water

little fly hanging in a spiders web-
he's been pumped full of poison but he still ain't dead
Oh Lord, O Lord how'd you think of THAT !
Friend of mine- it's crying shame
he's got a well designed virus eating at his brain
o lord. o lord how'd you think of that?

Sometimes I feel so far from home.

Jesus Christ came to save our skins
goodness me, look what we did to him-was that your masterstroke ?

God is Love-o but then again
the only mercy i see comes from the hearts of men,
how did you think of that?


So Far From Home. Stevek

Slightly Stoopid announce the official release of Slightly Stoopid & Friends Live At Roberto’s TRI Studios 9.13.11.... It was an honor being invited by the Grateful Dead and Furthur's Bob Weir into his state of the art TRI Studios. Built by our friends at Meyer Sound Labs, and utilizing the technology of their new Constellation sound system, Slightly Stoopid had the privilege to invite some of their close friends and family down to "Roberto's" TRI clubhouse for an unprecedented live webcast and in-studio performance....

Our good friend Tommy Chong came down and hosted the event and provided some "Wisdom". Our extended family of musical guests joining us and playing on the session, features Karl Denson, Ivan and Ian Neville of Dumpstaphunk, Don Carlos, and Bob Weir himself!

The result is a 31 song / 2 set acoustic and electric performance, including behind the scenes rehearsal footage, and a rare interview segment moderated by Tommy Chong and Bob Weir, all offered on high definition limited edition DVD / 2CD set.

Last but not least, a portion of all proceeds will go to benefit 2 charitable organizations whom the band supports: Save The Children and World Food Programme.

So i did this remix almost a year ago, and after it got such a good response on soundcloud and elsewhere, I decided that instead of giving it away, I would try to get in touch with CocoRosie to see about the possibility of a legit release.I never cared about making any money off of it, and I wanted to give them all the royalties.But they have proven rather tough to contact (understandable, given their international success).So, I've finally decided to give it away, slightly tweaked and re-mastered.
Seeing as they are responsible for 99% of what makes this track cool, it would still make me happy to know that they benefit in some way from this, so if you enjoy this tune, consider buying the original:

I Don't Want To Get Over You (Magnetic Fields)

There have been a lot of whispers and rumours about Thom Yorke's Atoms for Peace project since the band formed in 2009 to play The Eraser live. In the new issue of Dazed & Confused, the fabled frontman clears up the speculation surrounding Amok, his first group album outside of Radiohead, with one of his most in-depth interviews to date. He also talks frankly about his life and work, discussing his uneasy relationship with fame, that video for "Lotus Flower" and why he's still intent on bending people's heads of out shape. 

Also, stay tuned to Dazed Digital over the next fortnight, as we'll be enrolling 14 of today's most innovative producers, including Actress, Machinedrum, Flying Lotus and Arca, into "The University of Yorke". They'll be asking Thom a series of burning questions, plus much, much more.

Until then, we thought we'd get you in the mood by asking the man himself to make us an, ahem, A-Thomic mix of some of his favourite tunes. Little did we realise that he would go into the studio with Nigel Godrich and emerge with 25 minutes of unreleased solo material and remixes. Suffice to say, it's essential listening. Check below for the tracklisting, and make sure you pick up the issue, which hits the shelves today.

'When I Was On Horseback' (Acoustic Demo) from Arborea's forthcoming album 'Fortress of the Sun' on ESP-Disk' 
ESP5002. CD and Digital Release April 30th. 
news.espdisk.com/archives/1276

Lyrics by Buck Curran and Traditional. Music by Buck Curran and Shanti Curran

Produced, Recorded, Mixed by Buck Curran and Shanti Curran
Mastered by Harris Newman

(The new lyrics refer to Civil War Calvary General JEB Stuart and his death
near Richmond, VA on the 12th of May 1864)

When I was on Horseback wasn't I pretty
When I was on Horseback wasn't I fine
Wasn't I pretty when I rode through the valley
with pistol and sword and men by my side

When I was on Horseback wasn't I pretty
When I was on Horseback wasn't I brave
Wasn't I pretty when I rode through the country 
and met with my downfall on the twelfth day of May

Its four white horses to carry my coffin
its four white horses to walk by my side
Four white horses, black plumes and red roses
Birds singing sweetly as we move along

Beat the drums and play the pipes only
Play up the dead march as we go along
and bring me to Richmond and lay me down easy
I am a young Cavalier with God on my side

When I was on Horseback wasn't I pretty 
When I was  Horseback wasn't I fine
Wasn't I pretty as I rode through the valley
with pistol and sword and men by my side

Song For Obol (Daytrotter Session)

A few years ago John Solomon walked away from music. After a long struggle with addiction and a brief stint in jail he broke up his critically acclaimed band Friends Like These and moved to a small town in Wisconsin. And supposedly that was that.

Even though Solomon left music, it didn't leave him.  He checked in to rehab and started over with a new band back in St. Paul, MN
