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:

Who knows Who knows Who knows
I just go where the trade wind blows
Sending Love to my Friends and Foes
And I suppose
I'm pleased to be chilling in the West Indies
Jah Provide All My wants and needs
I got the sunshine rivers and trees, Green Leaves.


When me see Jah me see a way
Drastically stray from Hypocrisy i say
Everyman to them owna philosophy
A Live the proper way, and them me read a chapter daily
Man deh Inner City hungry and no eat
And food deh down a country just a drop off a the tree them
You see say poverty no real then
Is what the reasoning revealing

When the rain pitter pat pon the roof
Herb just a steam pepper pon pon the stew
Life is a dream if you got gratitude 
So go tell the regime them can't stop weh we do now
Information you think on your own
Or else you're a slave to the things that you know
What do you know if you learn everyday?
So be careful of things way u say


Africa in a we soul
But a Jah in a we heart
It if of important say I&I gather
If we cannot show now a balance at we yard
How do We propose then to carry it abroad
Cannot Go to Ethiopia and you nuh have a plan
The building of a nation a hand a help a hand
Everyone one love a one
A man is just a man 
It shall be a coronation when we land

The Maghreban takes a sojourn through 70s Africa, ending up confused in a 1990s Home Counties rave on this sophomore release. Tribal psychedelia abounds, colonial Afro Rock space echoes ensue, giving way to a quirky stomper.
