Lyrics:
Feeling so uncut I can barely get the words out of my mouth,
See you walking up and all these clouded apparitions, they fade out.
Tell myself just breathe, breathe you in, just breathe.
I won't let you leave, don't leave me here,
Don't you know I need you now?

I've got you stuck on mind,
and it's driving me crazy.

Won't let her get to me,
bury this fantasy that I'm living in.
But then every face I see, she's staring right back at me,
and I need her now.

I've got you stuck on my mind,
And it's driving me crazy

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

LYRICS

You’re not the answer to my prayers 
No, you’re just what I needed 
All alone, reaching for the phone 

If you were a record I’d play you till two 
Doze off to the sun 
Kissed by the moonlight 

Cause strangers know, it’s only a second 
Strangers know 
Strangers know, it’s only a second 
Till you believe it or leave it 
But I couldn’t leave you 

Chorus 
I’ve been around a few times now 
A lot of ups and downs 
A lot of comes and goes 
You’re feeling low, I can’t bring you to light 
But you’ll feel it come and go 
Like only strangers know 

You’re not a shot in the dark 
But not quite in line 
Pushing to the edge 

Always thought I didn’t know what I wanted 
Till you stepped into that spotlight 
It’s a quick fall from midnight 

Strangers know, it’s only a second 
Strangers know 
Strangers know, it’s only a second 
Till you’re on the other side of their life. 

Chorus 

We’re not strangers 
But strangers know 
Strangers know, it’s only a second 
Till you believe it or leave it 
But I couldn’t leave you 

Chorus
