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.

Lyrics:

Driving down the wrong road
Playing games and feeling low
Messing with my mind

How'd you do it this time?
Don't know where it all goes
Leaving me behind

Can you take a step back?
Tired of playing catch up
Would it really hurt you that much?

It's right in front of your face
Yet you look the wrong way
Can't you feel my touch?

But it feels like every time you look at me that way
You feel the love in your heart, but you don't know what to say

I'm tired of playing games, let's throw the board away
Oh, can you give love a try, even if it's for a day?

Threw away your first chance
What happend to our romance?
Let's do it a second time

I can stand here all day
Soon I'll look the other way
Why can't you just be mine?

Let's embrace the sunshine
Winter's gone and you'll be fine
Darling, let's believe in us

It's right in front of your face
Yet you look the wrong way
Can't you feel my touch?

But it feels like every time you look at me that way
You feel the love in your heart, but you don't know what to say

I'm tired of playing games, let's throw the board away
Oh, can you give love a try, even if it's for a day?

Oh, can we give love a try?
Oh, can we give love a try?

But it feels like every time you look at me that way
You feel the love in your heart, but you don't know what to say
