Tycho is currently signed to, and has released under, Ghostly International, but has also released music on Merck Records and Gammaphone Records. His song, Dictaphone's Lament, was used as the track on a music video entitled "Live Life to the Fullest", which was made by and featured on the action cartoon block Toonami. Additionally, his song Cascade (originally made for an Adult Swim/Ghostly International compilation) was played during the final moments of the original 11-year run of Toonami in 2008.
Hansen began releasing music over 10 years ago with The Science of Patterns EP. His first full-length, Sunrise Projector, came out in 2004, and as the critical acclaim continued in 2006 with the release of Past Is Prologue.
It was around 2008 that URBmagazine noted Tycho as one of the Next 100 artists to watch, and Hansen continued to release singles and experiment with more live instrumentation. In 2011, his meticulous process saw the release of Dive, his debut full-length for Ghostly International. Tranquil, nostalgic and melodic, the record established him beyond the realm of IDM and ambient.
Now with Awake, Tycho's second Ghostly LP, the project returns as a true three-piece band comprised of Zac Brown (guitar, bass) and Rory O’Connor (live drums). Lengthy touring for Dive brought Tycho to its full potential, and in efforts to capture the energy on the road Hansen invited Brown and O’Connor in to the creative process. Both the sound and artwork of Awake capture Hansens stylistic shift, conjuring a more kintetic and percussive sensory experience.

I love how this track seems to mimic the progress of the albums. The beginning gives me an early Tycho feel, with the first transition moving to more of a Dive feeling. Around 3:00 it moves to more of an Awake feeling, and then it slowly transitions to the darker energy of this new album. That explosion of sound at 4:34 is going to be amazing to hear live!
Mike van Emmerik
And you were right, 4:34 was amazing live :)

The part at 1:28 has to be a call back to the beginning of the actual 'Awake' track.

Love that extreme low end bass at 4:42, seems almost at the edge of human hearing but it has such a presence

I love this, the best Tycho track in years. I really hope the next album is the yin to Dive's yang. I'm tired of the same sounding sunny, beachy vibes, I wanna hear Tycho after dark, and this gives me that.
