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

Desert Dwellers were extremely honored to open for one of their favorite artists Shpongle (Simon Posford) for a 7 week tour in early 2014 called The Museum of Consciousness Tour. Consisting of 42 gigs around the United States, the combo of Desert Dwellers and Shponlge turned out to be a very powerful show. This particular Desert Dwellers set was the live unedited recording of the show in Lafayette on March 27th, where some mega fans were tearing it up in the dancefloor. Big thanks to Simon, Zebbler, Ben, Hippie, and Pete for such an epic tour!

Lyrics:
Verse 1
Holding my ear..
Close to the ground
Keeping it near..
Feel it shake and vibrate
Curving my fear
into the lane of love.
Out of the box.
Keeping it clear...
Minded..
Thoughts get fast forward and rewinded..
Surrender to hearts shining...
Homeland reminded...
Of A place timeless..
You are unique..
But the same like gold and silence...
Who sent you...
So curious.. Your potential..
Sincerity connects you..
Mother protects you...
A Thousand arms collect you.

Verse 2
from the ground up..
Call it in.. then we round up..
the decimals.. until its whole.. and we found what..
we reach for..
Is the sky where the clouds touch 
.. at the core here the sounds of..
the cries of a divine battallion..
See from the eyes of..
The falcons... uh..
The birds eye view..
The light shines through
Just enough to find you.
A bright divine design. .
I like it Times 2
Here to remind you..
Nothing confines you...
Time to fly the coop
Living by default..
Now it's time we choose
as we take our thoughts 
way beyond the roof...
Into new galaxies into..new dimensions.. 
cosmic selections... sacred connections..
songs of redemptions.. your recollection .. 
of your reflection.. 
 of the eternal
