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.

Look back
To when midnights broke their sleep
Awake in our memories
Of when we would make believe

Collide
Colors of the masquerade
Watch as they fall away
Faceless under faces made

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Spring would lie in summer showers
In my hair were winter flowers

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Seasons multiplying power
That I found in winter flowers

Turn back
I see rivers beyond the line
Ancient roads in broken design
Angels running thru our minds

Look up
Your city's built on marble floors
Neon lights in the falling snow
Those night back in tokyo

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Spring would lie in summer showers
In my hair were winter flowers

And weeks went by but felt like hours 
Seasons multiplying power
That I found in winter flowers

And we said
This has only just begun
In the end
Time forever favors the young

And we said
This has only just begun
In the end
Time forever favors the young

Young

World Away

Kasbo - World Away

February sucks. The weather is greyer and wetter than a Humpback Whale and the summer still seems an an age away. Luckily DT have been on hand to help you through this most precarious of months with more exclusive premieres than you can shake a maraca at (we're all out of sticks) and we're continuing that trend with another slice of hot off the press house for your listening delights today.

Returning to ALiVE Recordings for a third time, our old mucker Ben Gomori serves up a three track effort in the shape of the 'Ritual' EP and we have to say it's a corker. Guaranteed to both lift your mood and get those synapses firing, we've been unable to get the record's opening cut, 'Chaos Magick' out of our head or off of our playlist since it arrived in our bulging inbox last week.

Set to arrive February 22nd alongside the similarly melodic but more dance floor orientated title track and laid back 'Myth', you can stream 'Chaos Magick' in full now.
