Tycho "Awake" LP on Ghostly International
Release date: MARCH 18, 2014

Purchase "Awake": shop.iso50.com/collections/awake

formats:
CD/LP/DIGITAL

artwork by:

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.

Spectre

My Soul

Liu Bei
Infatuation / Atlas World
7th July 2014
Ltd 7” vinyl and digital release

VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfQf6VGD_Ig&feature=youtu.be


“We heard something on the radio about Liu Bei, a Chinese warlord who was known as an amazing strategist and a really caring, benevolent leader. He was also eight feet tall and had ears so big he could see them. Seemed like something to aspire to.”

Liu Bei (“Lou Bay”) explains frontman Richard, was born out of a desire to move away from years of solo acoustic songwriting and embark on something entirely new. In August 2013, on the brink of retiring from live music and concentrating fully on an already successful career writing music for TV shows and ads, Richard embarked on a collaborative project with a few friends which eventually led to the full formation of a band.  After falling in love all over again with the likes of Slowdive, Ride and Mazzy Star, he felt an urge to create something epic and timeless. 

The first song to come was Infatuation – a shimmering, reverb soaked lament charting “how dedication and unconditional love can so quickly turn into something dark and sharp toothed, an aggressive obsession.” You can hear the life cycle of the band within - it retains the reflective, introverted character of its early acoustic form, but builds those raw emotions into something more panoramic, a wash of delayed guitar and building drums reminiscent of the Cocteau Twins. 

The accompanying video - a compact cinematic epic - was created by London-based filmmaker Jake Dypka, who upon hearing an early demo of the song knew he had to be involved: “Jake heard Infatuation and said it transported him to his adolescence – to that time and place where every teenage crush eats you alive. He wanted to shoot something that conveyed that – in the end we actually went to the town where he grew up, we even filmed in his childhood home.”

Infatuation was recorded and mixed by James Kenosha (Pulled Apart By Horses, Rhodes, Dancing Years) at The Lodge studio in East Yorkshire during the first days of 2014.

Liu Bei play Servant Jazz Quarters in London on July 10th 2014.

imma be here forever...

LYRICS : 

So many people blowing smoke
It's getting too cloudy
It's kinda funny watching you you and you doubt me
I'm going where I'm going
Ain't nobody stopping that
Shooting for the stars
This is barely me cocking back
I put in work what you think they're cheering russ for
Taking short cuts could have your whole career cut short
One more month or
Definitely by spring
Imma be a millionaire
Turnin thoughts into things
Couple thots couple tings
Doesn't matter I'm the tin man
Nothing frees the pain like some tanqueray gin can
And I hope you playin chess and not checkers
I know that's your best
I hope you know you need to do better
I hope you see the scarlet letter on your wifeys sweater
She acted single when she was with me she let me do whatever
But fuck the love and affection
I got this buzz that I'm building
I just want plugs and connections
I swear I'm drunk off the feeling
Of being me
Aint nobody bout to sober me up
Understand me everybody's looked over me once
I got this chip on my shoulder
I got this voice that's inside me
That's yellin ain't nobody colder
Dare somebody to try me
I'm comin thru with that real shit
Popping without a deal shit
I play against myself
I'm on some steel sharpens steel shit
Cuz ain't no competition
Only my potential
I don't even have to rap
I could be rich off instrumentals
Making other people stars
But I figured I should shine too
The games got her legs open
I figured I should slide thru
Now people round the world confirming all my prophecies
Name your favorite rapper I got double their discography
So add an apostrophe to anything you offer me
You need me I don't need you so just watch how you talk to me
It's comedy watchin how the game goes
Industry plants use steroids
So as far as hall of fame goes
Y'all got an asterik
And ain't no getting past it
We all rapped to get here you were just wrapped up in plastic
And shoved down the masses gullet
I see your card imma pull it
We don't believe you
You need real people
It's all good tho I'm off it
Cliq full of young prophets
Like we all go by Muhammed
Its amazing what can happen when you
follow your instincts
So in sync with myself
They gon give ya boy bands
Like NYSNC
I want wealth
I want Grammys
I want 100 foreign girls in just panties
I want you to stop being so scared to be you
I want all your dreams to turn into reality too
It could happen if you want it
Cuz dreams deferred turn into nightmares
And I don't think you wanna be haunted
I gotta lot to accomplish
Further than mmmmm boppin
No disrespect to hanson
But longevitys my anthem
Faith is my companion
My doubt got abandoned
My devil stills dancin
In a house in the Hamptons
Momma still waitin on her beach front mansion
And she still mad at dad cuz the money's been random
It's been tighter than the tension in this room
It's been the coldest summer ever and the winters comin soon
But don't worry I'm gonna make the snow melt
The prize will be peace like a Nobel
Imma be on covers with one hand on my balls like I'm Odell
I never let nobody ride my coat tails
Living outta duffle bags
iTunes checks lotta hotels
Only time I lose is when I blow L's
Go tell whoever got the game on lock
That I got the key
Man my train don't stop
I gonna be
Here for forever
Longevity

i just need...

LYRICS : 

I just need someone to drink with
Someone to talk to when I'm drinkin
Someone to touch on when I'm drinkin, drinkin, drinkin
I just need someone to drink with
Someone to talk to when I'm drinkin
Someone to love on when I'm drinkin, drinkin, drinkin

I just want someone to vibe with 
We don't gotta fuck yet
We can just get drunk yea, buzzin 
Right now I aint really poppin 
All I got is liquor love and truth 
Girl you got options
I only got 10 dollars to my name right now
But that's enough for you and me
Girl come thru
Imma try my best not to love you cuz

I just need someone to drink with
Someone to talk to when I'm drinkin
Someone to touch on when I'm drinkin, drinkin, drinkin
I just need someone to drink with
Someone to talk to when I'm drinkin
Someone to love on when I'm drinkin, drinkin, drinkin

Couple girls that missed out
I might loop back around
Gotta phone full of texts like
"Oh you back in town?"
If you were me would you slide thru for you
If I've been actin so brand new to you
Atlanta girl with her priorities off
Every picture that she posts
Her insecurities talk
Thats why I lay low
Never puttin pressure on the pussy
Squad full of gods and we mob like goodie
But I can't lie I'm lookin for some scenery adjustments 
Her body is a temple but her minds in construction
Nothing that we can't work on
I aint tryna lead her on cuz

I just need someone to drink with
Someone to talk to when I'm drinkin
Someone to touch on when I'm drinkin, drinkin, drinkin
I just need someone to drink with
Someone to talk to when I'm drinkin
Someone to love on when I'm drinkin, drinkin, drinkin

shes losin control now....

LYRICS : 

Shes fallin in love now
Losin control now
Fightin the truth
Tryin to hide
But I think its alright girl
Yea I think its alright girl
Shes fallin in love now
Losin control now
Fightin the truth
Tryin to hide
But I think its alright girl
Yea I think its alright girl

Shes fallin but she doesnt think he'll catch her
Cuz her last relationship was a disaster
Accusations everyday she didnt know why
All her calls would be ignored hes on his own time
Shoulda ended it before it started
All she ever got was broken hearted
He was cheatin on her tryna flip it
Back on her like a victim
Now shes all alone and startin over
Now shes got baggage on her shoulder
But the new guy really loves her
She loves him but she doesnt trust herself anymore

Shes fallin in love now
Losin control now
Fightin the truth
Tryin to hide
But I think its alright girl
Yea I think its alright girl
Shes fallin in love now
Losin control now
Fightin the truth
Tryin to hide
But I think its alright girl
Yea I think its alright girl

Despite her past she cant help the attraction
He tells her that hes nothing like the last one
He redefines in every way what love is
She fell for him and hasnt gotten up since
Every now and then she goes off tho
Beatin on his chest like a bongo
He understands shes comin from a hurt place
Answers all the questions on her survery
Doesnt get jealous doesnt break trust
Doesnt call a hoe after hang ups
Gives her everything she ever wanted
And even tho she still feels haunted she

Shes fallin in love now
Losin control now
Fightin the truth
Tryin to hide
But I think its alright girl
Yea I think its alright girl
Shes fallin in love now
Losin control now
Fightin the truth
Tryin to hide
But I think its alright girl
Yea I think its alright girl

Losin Control (Prod. Russ)

LYRICS:
I don’t mind looking at your face now girl
I’m tryna be a passenger i’m paced down
I don’t mind looking at your face now
my latent road is enough we could go with our love

my waist off, you can cater me for credit
I don’t need nobody to know i get it
I’m a freethrow, copped your look and called the paramedic
I’m just looking through adamant, like i seen that shit on Reddit
your past lost at the bottom of the black snow
fuckin with me call up on all the people i look out for
never change my look i don’t wanna pretend i should but just because my ego’s big don’t mean i’m begging for them racks tho
pack low you need to run on the trip
Facts go farther than anything
