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:

Your friends they don’t agree with you
Clinging to my words you never doubted it
Say you know me 
Cure me of your cold heart

Wreckless and young 
Thought we made a new start
Telling you my best lines
Just remember how I found you

But now you do, it’s like...

We have a wild love
Shielding us from the world
Give me your sweet talk and I will keep you up
With this wild love, this wild love 

(Repeat)

Somewhere that we’ve never dreamed
The signs here, they point to

Got the big time hotel
Got Sonata keeping company...

I didn’t recognise your heart was out of line
So make a run for it leave tracks up in the sky

Clinging to my words you never doubted it
Just remember how I found you

So see it through, Come on...

We have a wild love

Come on

This wild love 

This wild love

This wild love

We have a wild love
Shielding us from the world
Give me your sweet talk and I will keep you up
With this wild love, this wild love 

(Repeat)

Oh, Oh, Oh this wild love

Oh, Oh, Oh this wild love

Oh, Oh, Oh with this wild love

This wild love, Oh, Oh, Oh

Wild Love (feat. Ollie Wride)

Lyrics: 

I’m lost without you

I’ve been riding this train for so long
Searching for a place to call my own
Accelerating beyond control
I’m going faster than a speeding bullet
from where my heart calls

(lost without you)

I’m tired of running baby

(lost without you)

I just can’t forget the past I’m lost without
you I don’t know what I’d do if I lost you again
I’ll hold you through the night

I’m lost without you
I don’t know where I’d be if you weren’t in my life
Together till the end

These tracks keep running full circle
And there you are each time, I look into your eyes
There’s no doubt I can’t keep going on
Someone stop this train before
I lose my mind

(lost without you)

I’m tired of running baby

(lost without you)

I just can’t forget the past

Lost Without You (feat. Matt Turkington)

Introducing Tesla Boy's 'The Universe Made Of Darkness', the highly anticipated second album out today. 

Having released tantalizing previews such as '1991', an infectiously optimistic groove, Tesla Boy takes their previous albums' 80’s inspired synth sounds to even further heights with the new LP. Second single 'M.C.H.T.E.' is a bouncy and percussion heavy track with rhythmic, funky bass lines and synths that flicker across the surface. 'Broken Doll' sees the band team up with London crooner Tyson to create a dark, full-bodied and sensual track. As the chorus of the track would suggest, 'Broken Doll' is an invitation to the dance floor, with Tyson's vocals positively electrifying as he asks, "Do you want to dance?" 

'The Universe Made of Darkness' is out now via iTunes (Release Date: May 21, 2013): https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-universe-made-of-darkness/id645459228
