For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of 'Awake', 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.
