Especially for this post, I am going to go as light as possible on “analysis” and stick to “listening to this album is like eating marshmallows – fluffy and delicious”. The reasons are many, but first and foremost is that I/we have no real business critiquing artists who are daily creating new sounds, new genres, and expanding the musical library exponentially. Second, this is not the type of album that needs to be picked up and looked at under a microscope.
Tycho is Scott Hansen, an artist and producer from San Francisco. His new LP Dive continues where The Past is Prologue left off – swirling pleasantly into oblivion. Catchy rhythms, ephemeral vocals, and glassy hooks make you sit down and stay a while. Strolling through “A Walk”, Scott Hansen drips “Hours” into a “Daydream”, and “Dive”‘s down to the “Coastal Brake”. If ever song titles were emblematic of the atmosphere presented, Dive effortlessly does so.
Take a listen – light and refreshing doesn’t begin to cover it.
Tycho – Hours
Tycho – Coastal Brake
