Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International
Release date: MARCH 18, 2014

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

Just Polaroid is a Bristol based band created by Leon Stephens, Chris Gowing and Ann Smith. Their sound is an alternative organic pop fusion with elements of indie, funk and electronica, all bound together with poetic words. Musically, inspiration has come from great British bands such as Joy Division and The Smiths, as well as developing genres such as chillwave and post dub-step to name a few.

Just Polaroid (formally known as The Felts) was officially formed in the autumn of 2009, with Leon Stephens and Ann Smith recording a few ideas together in their home studio. In the summer of 2010 Chris Gowing joined the band and took up the role of lead vocalist along side Ann Smith. 

Just Polaroid are currently unsigned and looking for potential recording and publishing contracts.

Unsigned Bristol-based band Just Polaroid recorded this great cover of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy The Silence” last November and by employing a stripped back tactic, with almost-spoken word vocals the band have constructed an elaborate take on this dark Synth-Pop classic, distinct enough to call their own.

Just Polaroid - Enjoy The Silence (Depeche Mode cover) Pretty good cover, though I doubt this is a track anyone could ruin.

I mentioned Bristol band The Felts and their cover of Enjoy The Silence in my recent “Sunday music” post. Really owe to tell that the band's own track The Connoisseur is worth a listen. ...
