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~

down below
my thoughts can wander and i
let go
i don’t need much in my life
i know
i like it better underwater

ive been drowning in anemone
here you’ll never get the best of me
ive been drowning in anemone
breathing deep 
breathing deep

down below
sandy like the ocean floor
quiet like i like it
here ill never be alone

i pause my life
i spend my time
its always right
its never wrong to try

it’s been alright
ive been alright

but here its better
i heal better

i like it better underwater
send me underwater


feeling little pulls
wont get the best of me so 
la la la lets go
a little destiny 
to tell you what you know
a fatal recipe of life

dreaming ‘bout a place 
where i can be by myself

anemone

Lyrics:

I want to call you
What's your number?
Do you want to meet the day after?
I saw you look over your shoulder
I need to know now are you going to come round?

If you wanna come to my place then
We can talk about the weather
If you wanna come to my house then
You can meet my parents
If you wanna come to bedroom

I thought I saw you on the Leeds train
But you werent there when I looked back again
I heard you working in an office too
Maybe we could meet 
Just tell me what you wanna do?

I know you've been feeling quite low lately
But I saw your car on the driveway
And I to ask

Undercover

Dribble (feat. RIZ LA VIE) [Remix]

For the past three years, Sycco, AKA vocalist and producer Sasha McLeod, has lived in a crumbling Brisbane sharehouse. Once, it was a grand address home to the former mayor Clem Jones; a feat of 70s architecture offering panoramic views of the city. Today, there are holes in the walls, rats in the ceilings and a resident crew of housemates who have become each other’s chosen family. Sycco’s debut album was born out of that scrappy sharehouse and the experiences she had there: first love, first heartbreak, and forming the friendships that sustained her through it all.

California-based musician and composer Christopher Scott Adams is Oui Intl. Christopher creates melodic, theme-driven scores for life with electronica roots and headnodic beats.
