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.

Sunshine

Artist: Future Islands
Title: Tomorrow / Fountain 7”
Catalogue Number: UTR055
Formats: 7” / DIGITAL

Track listing:
A. Tomorrow
B. The Fountain

* * * RELEASE DATE / SEPTEMBER 3RD * * *

Since 2008’s ‘Wave Like Home’ debut album on Upset The Rhythm, Future Islands have gone from strength to strength, writing two classic albums of romantic yet melancholic synthpop for Thrill Jockey as well as exhaustively touring Europe and America to frenzied devotion. This new 7” on Upset The Rhythm ‘Tomorrow’ / ‘The Fountain’ sees the band at the top of their game, releasing some of their most compelling and sophisticated songs yet, building on the aching themes and poignant focus of their last album ‘On The Water’.

‘Tomorrow’ is a soulful swoon, its light tread is mesmerising amongst the slow burning synth cycles and relaxed bass progress. Samuel T. Herring’s ever-impressive vocal has never sounded more akin to Sam Cooke as he smoothly laments “I’m saying sorry every time we talk” before careening into a flight of sustained, arguably uncontrollable emotion. Some choice, additional vocals from Jenn Wasner (of Wye Oak), Lexie Mountain and Elena Johnston only make the song seem more impassioned; its ardent nature perfectly rendered into melody.

‘The Fountain’ meanwhile is a luscious narrative sunk into a slow dance. It’s a song that tells a tale of courtship, heady rush and leaps of faith. It’s a beautifully descriptive lyric, full of “shady groves”, “hanging gardens” and “human loam”, nodding a head to both Genet and Rilke as it passes. “I know my lines, and there’s a lot less space and a little bit of time… I know the way – It’s fine” sings Herring tenderly. Gerrit Welmers keyboard work here is stunning, the blooming chords and fluted air soaring across a landscape of crushed cymbals and quivering ambience, peaking with William Cashion’s deeply expressive, echoing bass ascent.

‘Tomorrow’ / ‘The Fountain’ was recorded and produced with long-term collaborator Chester Endersby Gwazda and mastered by Sarah Register (Talk Normal). Tyler Weeks provides the liminal, colourscape cover and the vinyl is heavyweight, white and limited to 1000 copies worldwide.

Interpol - Success

Future Islands  The Great Fire

INTERPOL RELEASE NEW SINGLE “LIGHTS” ON MARCH 21st 2011



“A stunning performance from a band very much at the apex of their career.” The Fly
"Interpol's future is secured…" NME 
" Interpol are back with their fourth (eponymous) album. It's a richer, more textured post-punk affair that should take Paul Banks and Co to the next level….a stadium band in the making, if they choose to be." The Daily Telegraph 
"These Big Apple indie rockers kick off their upcoming album with this rich and punchy new single (Barricade), which is one of their strongest to date." The Sun  “…quite magnificent…” Evening Standard
"…another album of exquisitely anguished atmospherics." - Independent On Sunday 
Interpol swiftly become a byword for cool…trendsetters in their own right, inspiring the musical zeitgeist of the day and paving the way for a whole host of acts." Clash 
"New York's finest." - News Of The World

“Deep within the inner chambers of the Three-Horned Rhinoceros Beetle (Chalcosoma Caucasus), a closely guarded pheremone-harvesting ritual is about to begin.”



Interpol release their new single “Lights” on March 21st 2011, through Soft Limit / Co-Operative Music as a digital download only. The third single to be taken from their eponymous fourth album, “Lights” encompasses Daniel Kessler’s distinct guitar tones with the potency of Paul Banks brooding vocals, combining to climax after 5 minutes and 38 seconds of eerie intensity.

The accompanying video – directed by visual artist Charlie White – exploits the relationship between sex and death, and explores the release of pheremones within the uncharted world of the Three-Horned Rhinoceros beetle. Considered the muse throughout the production process, the beetle was the perfect compliment to the dominance of black that constantly surrounds Interpol.

View the HD video for “Lights” here: www.interpolnyc.com/videos/lights

Having recently sold out three nights at Brixton Academy on the UK leg of their tour and fresh from supporting U2 throughout Europe, Interpol return to the UK this March to play the following dates:


March 2011 18/03	Bournemouth Academy 19/03	Bristol Colsten Hall 20/03	Cambridge Corn Exchange 22/03	Leeds Academy
