Calendar TYCHO Website Facebook Twitter Instagram TYCHO -- the
Grammy-nominated electronic music project led by primary composer
Scott Hansen -- unveils a wholly new iteration of sound with the
release of their fifth studio album, Weather, via Mom + Pop Music x
Ninja Tune. The highly anticipated release follows 2016’s Epoch and
diverges markedly from TYCHO’s previous output with the introduction
of vocal led tracks, while still maintaining the foundation of
Hansen’s signature sound. New collaborator Hannah Cottrell, aka
Saint Sinner, lends her voice to multiple tracks on the record and
will join TYCHO’s live band for the Weather World Tour. “When
setting out to record Weather, I wanted to finally fulfill what had
been a vision of mine since the beginning: to incorporate the most
organic instrument of all, the human voice,” says Hansen. “I met
Hannah Cottrell, and the vocal component of the album immediately came
into focus. Her vision folded effortlessly into mine and her voice
integrated seamlessly into the sonic landscape, opening new spaces for
me as a songwriter and producer.” In many ways, Weather is the
culmination of TYCHO’s career as a whole – each prior step taken
with intention to land on this new creative ground. The past 13 years
have seen TYCHO EVOLVE FROM A PART-time solo project of a graphic
designer into a massively successful and world touring live band.
Longtime collaborators Zac Brown (bass/guitar) and Rory O’Connor
(drums) along with touring member Billy Kim (keyboards/guitar/bass)
will join Hansen on the Weather World Tour. Saint Sinner will also
join the live band on all dates as the first touring vocalist with
TYCHO. Weather intends to reveal a more human side to the live show
with the new energy of a vocalist. Com Truise Website Facebook Twitter
"Repetition is a form of change," reads one of Brian Eno's Oblique
Strategies. Seth Haley knows the concept well, and his style of
technicolour synth-wave takes the mantra as a challenge -- how much
emotion can one man convey through his machines? Six years ago,
Galactic Melt introduced space traveller Com Truise and his journey
through far-flung galaxies, before mini-epics Wave 1 and Silicon Tare
expanded the story in further cosmic detail. And now Iteration
concludes this sprawling saga. True to its name, the album is built on
Com Truise hallmarks: neon-streaked melodies, big drums, robotic
grooves, bleary nostalgia. But Iteration is also the most elegant and
streamlined that Haley's music has ever sounded. At the album's heart
is an elaborate narrative, one full of longing, hope, anxiety, and
triumph. Iteration illustrates the last moments Com Truise spends on
the perilous planet Wave 1, before he and his alien love escape its
clutches to live in peace. Album opener ."..Of Your Fake Dimension"
launches the interstellar drama with its anthemic swells and
widescreen sound design, before lovesick songs like "Dryswch" and
"Propagation" outline scenes wrought with cybernetic pathos. In
"Isostasy," the synaesthetic quality of Haley's compositions is
presented in ultra-high-definition. Later, the frantic rhythms of
"Syrthio" conjure images of panicked flight as Haley's gorgeous synth
melodies gild the action in quiet heartbreak. Then comes the
resounding "When Will You Find The Limit...," when Iteration's pain
and sadness finds liberation in the vast unknown. The closing title
track ends it all in a gush of majestic revelry. So goes the winding
story that Iteration tells, and yet there's more behind its telling.
"I try hard not to write from my personal life, but it's inevitably
going to seep into the music," Haley explains. "It's basically like
I'm scoring this film in my head, but that film I'm scoring is also
somehow my life." There are glimpses of the difficult time the East
Coast native spent adjusting to a new life in Los Angeles, fighting
homesickness and burnout while also touring the world. It was a time
full of uncertainty, transition, and self-realization. After a year
and a half of living in California, Haley finally recaptured his
creativity by finding new excitement in his work. "I put more air,
more breathing room in the music -- that was the big change," he says.
And once that clicked, the album quickly materialized. Such a clear
refinement of the Com Truise sound took time to develop, but Iteration
is well worth the patience and perseverance it cost. Some of Haley's
smartest, catchiest work is here, from the weightless pop heights of
"Memory" to "Ternary"'s lush synth-funk. A song like "Vacuume" somehow
manages to balance massive bass swells and punishing drums with
stuttering angelic gasps, and "Usurper" gracefully pairs subtle
poignant melodies with uplifting dance beats. "For me, it feels like
change," Haley says of his second album, and yes, this is Com Truise
like never before. By embracing the music's inherent nature and
peerless qualities, Iteration finds new avenues of expression in its
vivid, familiar surroundings. Tracklist 01. ...Of Your Fake Dimension

roughly a decade—going through pseudonyms like toothbrushes (Sarin
Sunday, SYSTM, Airliner)—first as a DJ, and currently, as an
excavator of softer, window-fogging synth-wave. Venue Information:
