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 and co-production by Isabella Goloversic :

You can hang on to me if you don't know
I'll take you down the line

Don't you move too fast but don't go too slow
I want your love tonight

You can hang on to me if you don't know
and we'll go down the line

Don't you move too fast but don't go too slow
I need your love tonight

I'll catch you when you fall and fall again

You catch me when I fall
I fall again

I'll catch when you're falling
fall again

You can hang on to me if you don't know
I'll take you down the line

Don't you move too fast but don't go too slow
I want your love tonight

You can hang on to me if you don't know
and we'll go down the line

Don't you move too fast but don't go too slow
I need your love tonight

He goes/I go

He knows/I know

He goes/I go

He knows, it's only a matter of time

Do you know what I need now?

(hold on and let it go)

(you can hang on to me if you don't know)

Well, you're all that I need right now

(I'll catch your fall)

(you can hang on to me if you don't know)

And you know what I need now

(hold on and let it go)

(you can hang on to me if you don't know)

Oh, you're all that I need right now

so fall

As summer fades away 
Lost in a cloudless haze 
Just hold me and touch a wave 
There’s no more we need to say 

Yet I don’t want to say goodbye 
And I don’t want to see you cry 

And now it’s too late to say goodbye 
Now I love you 
And now it’s too late to say goodbye 
It’s not over 

We’re caught in a moment 
Lost in a summer breeze 
Moving in circles 
As light flickers on the sea 

Now I don’t want to say goodbye 
And I don’t want to see you cry 

And now it’s too late to say goodbye 
Now I love you 
And now it’s too late to say goodbye 
It’s not over 
And now it’s too late to say goodbye 
Ohh na na ohh 
I know it’s too late to say goodbye 
Now we’re forever

It’s not through lack of feeling 
That my heads against the wall 
Convince me that I’m dreaming 
and you’re waiting by my door 

I know that I’ve been chasing my tail now 
I’ve been dragging us both down to our knees 
If you want to escape just say now 
You always knew what was good for me 

Don’t want to change 
Don’t want to change your mind 
Don’t want to change 
Don’t want to change your mind 

I’m not looking for half answers 
To gain a sense of this 
Just let me lose my head for a while 
Then, I’ll be whatever you insist 

I know that I’ve been chasing my tail now 
I’ve been dragging us both down to our knees 
If you want to escape just say now 
You always knew what was good for me 

Don’t want to change 
Don’t want to change your mind 
Don’t want to change 
Don’t want to change your mind 

I’ve let all my defences run 
Talked every dream that we had dry 
And as I reach the no return 
You pull me back and everythings right 

Don’t want to change 
Don’t want to change your mind 
Don’t want to change 
Don’t want to change your mind

I used to be the one 
I used to be your getaway dreamer 
I couldn’t get enough 
Thinking that we would last forever 
Don’t know what you’re thinking of 
Slipping further out of reach 
To the edge of town we could go 
Away from all the world to see 

You were wild trying to set yourself free 
I didn’t see the signs right in front of me 

Oh, I’m running in the night so soon 
I’ve got nothing left to lose 
I’m leaving it all behind, running in the night with you 
I won’t let you get away again 
We can see it through to the end 
But whatever we do 
I'm running in the night with you 

I used to be the one 
I used to be your place to land 
Under the shadows 
Into the palm of my hand 
You’re always changing the situation 
Just when we found paradise 
You’re always shutting down my conversation 
I can never read your mind 

Oh, I’m running in the night so soon 
I’ve got nothing left to lose 
I’m leaving it all behind, running in the night with you 
I won’t let you get away again 
We can see it through to the end 
But whatever we do 
I'm running in the night with you 

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh 
Running with the night 
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh 
I’m Running with the night 

I used to be the one 
I used to be your getaway dreamer 
I couldn’t get enough 
Thinking that we would last forever

Jean - Michel Jarre & Pet Shop Boys - Brick England (loop Maniac Heavy Scissors Version) (2016)

lyrics::

you're feeling sleazy again
all alone in your room
where the red light never goes out
you watch me crawl across the floor
and burn my knees for you

for your eyes...

for your hands...

always for your pleasure...

for your pleasure...

come and kiss me again
there's so much I wanna show you
cause this fire never burns out
I watch you crawl across the floor
and you tell me that it's all

for your eyes...

for your hands...

always for your pleasure...

for your pleasure...

you're taking pictures again
the flash is bright under the half-light
I always shine
under the cover of night
I wanna slide beneath your skin
and blow you away

for your eyes...

for your hands...

always for your pleasure...

for your pleasure...

Lyrics (Written by Isabella Goloversic) :

from the very first time I saw your face, I knew...
though I never told you so

and when I looked into your eyes I couldn't help but see...
you knew it too

where your heart was sure to go

don't deny
we could find a place where...

we belong

we have wasted
we've been wasting all this time

I have waited
I've been waiting all my life...

for you

so don't let me down
don't let me down again

you know I'd run to you

if only you'd tell me you want me by your side...
I'd be there baby

every night
i feel you running in my dreams
we're running in my dreams

don't deny this
and we'll find a place where...

we belong

do I dare say...

can I dare say...

I love you

and I dare you to say...

oh I dare you to say...

you love me

always
I've loved you

always
I've loved you

(higher, higher)

you better stop playing mind games
cause I know you feel the same

I should be yours
and you should be mine

but don't just say that you love me...
you've gotta show me you love me

all, all night

you know we're running out of time
I know you want another life

well, you know where to find me

but don't just say that you love me...
you've gotta show me you love me...

all, all night

all, all, all night...

long

Name Your Price

Perturbator - Naked Tongues (Feat. Memory Ghost's Isabella Goloversic)

(Lyrics Written by Greta Link)

We gotta get away and disappear 
We're running out of time
The sun is low we'll go and break away
Fade into the light

They'll sell your soul just so you'll make believe
You're living in a lie
You never know the way you're killing me
Inside

Now I know the way to go
Show me things I'll never know
Do you want to run away tonight?

He broke my own heart into 
He broke my own heart into a million pieces

No you're never gonna let it go
We play these games, so who's to blame?
We never change, just stay the same

Do you really want somebody else?

Say my name
So I fall to the flames
Feel you flow in my veins 

We both know now love is not real

Perturbator - Desire (Feat. Greta Link)

Eclectic taste in music.  An “old soul” for sure.  I am an artist, musician, joker, story teller and a person longing to break free from chains of the j.o.b. and center myself on my talents (which aren’t used in the j.o.b.)
