Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International

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.

If you're into filthy beats, you're in the right place. 20 mins of bass-y trap and dub. Mix inspired by a recent gig at Chinese Laundry.

For all of you who were unfortunate enough to miss the gig, here's what you missed out on. For all of you who made it, here's a little nostalgia for you.

Bombay Bicycle Club - Home By Now (Louis The Child Remix)

'Isabella' is from We Are Catchers's self-titled album 'We Are Catchers' out now.

We Are Catchers - 'Isabella'
Buy We Are Catchers at iTunes - http://smarturl.it/WeAreCatchers

Headlining this year’s Rough Trade stage at the renamed Camden Crawl, CC14, this will be We Are Catchers’ first performance in London. The set will be at The Enterprise on Saturday 21st June. With music as warm and understated as this, it’s sure to be a beautiful show. We Are Catchers has also announced sets at Green Man and the new Astral Coast festival.
Tripping across oceans of sound, We Are Catchers effortlessly melds the cascading melodies of the Pacific coast to the kind of stargazing melancholy that’s always haunted Liverpool’s greatest artists. As an album, it looks out from the Water’s Edge and dreams its way across seas and continents, traversing the invisible (but undeniable) pathways that connect the mid-west coast of England to the west coast of the USA. 
A beautiful, timeless collection of songs, We Are Catchers (real name Peter Jackson) summons up the spirits of legendary Mersey beasts like Mick and John Head, the Crucial Three, Bill Ryder Jones, Lee Mavers and the Wild Swans whilst chiming gorgeously with dusty echoes of records by Brian Wilson and Arthur Lee. The aforementioned Bill Ryder-Jones also appears on the album, playing guitar.

“Nantucket! Take out your map and look at it. See what a real corner of the world it occupies; how it stands there, away off shore, more lonely than the Eddystone lighthouse… all beach, without a background… Nantucket is no Illinois.”
When Herman Neville penned these words in 1851, he envisioned Nantucket through the eyes of a weary whaler at sea. Yet 157 years later, his words resonated with two young men landlocked in the Midwest. Michael LoPresti and Aaron Smith could empathize with the whalers of Neville’s Moby Dick. Their music was their Nantucket, beckoning them to break away from their day jobs and go back to what they loved.  It was this longing that gave way to The Lighthouse and the Whaler.

In June 2008, Michael (lead vocals, guitar, mandolin, keyboard) and Aaron (violin, guitar, keyboard) met in a field Ohio to take photos with a friend. Taking up their instruments – a violin and a guitar – the musicians had an impromptu collaboration session as the photographer snapped his shots. By the end of the day Michael and Aaron had written their first song, aptly titled “The Field Song,” which was released in December 2008 on a four-song EP entitled A Whisper, A Clamour. The band’s blend of ethereal folk and sweeping harmonies quickly caught the attention of Paste, which featured “The Field Song” on its acclaimed CD sampler. The band also earned early praise and recognition from Under the Radar and FILTER, which in July 2009 declared The Lighthouse and the Whaler its “Unsigned Band of the Month.”

While holding odd jobs as graphic designers, grocery clerks and freelance musicians, the band worked for its rightful place in the Midwest music scene, adding Michael’s younger brother, Matthew (percussion), to the full-time line-up. Their college friend Mark Poro (vocals, guitar, mandolin) soon followed, along with his musical collaborator Steven Diaz (vocals, guitar, keyboard, percussion).

Pursuing a do-it-yourself approach, the band booked itself regional tours through the East and West Coasts, sharing stages with notable acts including Sufjan Stevens, The Temper Trap, Carolina Chocolate Drops, A.A. Bondy, Via Audio and Hallelujah the Hills. During these shows the band showed off its multi-instrumentalist approach, impressing crowds at House of Blues, SXSW, Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, The Living Room, Schuba’s and other venues with what MTV describes as “really cool, melodic folk rock… and a live show you’ve got to check out for yourself.”

The Lighthouse and the Whaler was also busy preparing its debut, self-titled LP, just as it was named “Best Indie Artist” at the 2010 Cleveland Music Awards. Described as “colorful, eccentric and fantastically triumphant,” the album showcases the band’s ability to take seemingly simple instrumentations and layer them into something powerful and strong. “Windows” and “Of the Heavens and the Earth” offer punctuated melodies and sustained harmonies, while “Under Mountain, Under Ground” is marked by “sweet harmonies, a resonant barroom piano, and propulsive percussion to an exuberant climax” (KEXP). The lyrics, which hint at the band’s studies in philosophy and theology, provide room for fans to interpret and correlate the music with experiences in their own lives: struggles, triumphs, good ties and bad.

And while Neville’s protagonist looked out longingly for a home that was out of reach, The Lighthouse and the Whaler is wasting no time chasing down what really matters. “We’ve equated music to be something by which people can really be changed and moved,” explains Michael. “There’s something beautiful in music and powerful in music and when faced with a choice of this or other things – other ways to make money or other ways to fill our heads – we would choose this every time.”
