Tycho , the Bay-area electronic musician/designer, is back with his highly anticipated new LP Dive . The album has been getting love all over the place and can be picked up HERE . If you're a music/design/photo junkie you should also check out his blog ISO50 . Listen to the just released radio version of his title track Dive . Tycho - Dive (Radio Edit)

Tycho: Dive - While comparisons to Boards Of Canada will always follow him, Tycho has definitively distinguished himself from others in his ever-growing genre with Dive . With all of the great things I can say about this record, its difficult to know where to begin which is always something I want to say about someone whom I respect musically. It was hard to know what exactly this album would sound like after hearing Coastal Brake , his best song up to this point in my opinion. [...]
It's getting to be that time of year where there's nothing more relaxing than a contemplative walk on an empty chilly beach at sunset. Grab your hoodie and your headphones because this is your soundtrack. Tycho specializes in creating music that is more experience than sound and his new LP Dive is no exception. Head [...]

Heading into the FunFunFun weekend, I figured I might give you some stuff to chill to when you make it back to the house to decompress. What better than an installment of tracks from the IT Department? I do a featured FFF6 artist in this edition, so I am "relevant" and "thoughtful". Heh. Tycho melts your face, Small Black continues to mellow, Simian Ghost blurs influences, Sapphire Slows is and Grimes is the fun feature. [...]
Filed under: RPM Charles Bergquist Artist: Tycho Hail From: San Francisco Song: 'Hours' Album: 'Dive' Sounds Like: Boards of Canada, Hammock In Their Words: "'Hours' was one of the most enjoyable tracks from the album to write; it came together pretty quickly during a couple of sessions. The idea was to have a sort of implied intensity without crossing the [...]

Hey y'all. Once again I have left you in the dark as far as posts and shows. No more appoliogies, just content. Twin Sister - Bad Street I feel like I might have been in a more soulful mood then usual. This song is a great way to start any playlist. Mayer Hawthorne - A Long Time In the class of Jamie Lidell where you scratch your head and say, is that voice really coming out [...]

[RSS Readers: See post to listen to audio] The Radio Edit of Tycho's Dive single hit iTunes today which will hopefully help Scott reach some of the non-Tycho listeners and give them something to hum along too. I personally love the longer album version, he makes all 8+ minutes count, I still haven't had a chance to be alone with the record by the ocean which I think is where this album will flourish on a new level for me. Jacob 2-2 has a new EP that's almost a LP length release [...]

Short week. Luckily, there is Tycho and some other noteworthy artists making appearances. Fresh off of touring with Little Dragon, the solo work of Scott Hansen in the name of Tycho arrives with Dive . This instrument-only album far exceeded our expectations and really could be one of the best sounds you hear all month/season. While not dishing out a full-length album, The Decemberists ' Long Live the King EP shows promise once again for a group that has really merged mid-American and Great Northwest talent [...]

If you like Future Loop Foundation, or you're partial to a sort of chill-wave then Dive is no hard sell. It's simply a sublime set of instrumental tracks that made me yearn to be sitting on a beach watching the sunset - not more so than 'Hours' with a nice cool drink and some well presented, tasty amuse-bouche. Indeed in a way this album is an amuse-bouche of sorts. It sets the tone and is clearly designed to be listened to before you go out, or at a social gathering of some description where [...]

Tycho - Dive Designer, synth extraordinaire and San Fran native Scott Hansen has crafted a delicate piece of work with his album Dive . Chuck full avant soundscapes crafted by what seemingly could only be crafted from a psychedelic revelation or full enlightenment of some sort. Quite frankly I think it's a little unfair that he's able to craft a works of art with both color and melody. Save some for the rest of us dude. You can stream and buy his album now on his bandcamp but if you're [...]

We're wrapping up the Little Dragon / Tycho tour tomorrow night in Tampa (Tuesday, Oct. 25th) . It's been an incredible tour, we started out up in Toronto and made our way down through the south. It was our first time playing a lot of these cities and we were amazed by the warm reception we got from everyone. We'll definitely be back very soon with the full show (visuals etc.) We're driving from Orlando to Tampa right now, can't wait to get back out there for the first time with the live band. We have [...]

Tycho is geen onbekende in het genre van IDM/ambient. Met Sunrise Projector als zijn eerste album gaf hij zijn visitekaartje af en zijn sound. Zeven jaar later is er Dive . Vanaf de eerste tonen lijkt het alsof Tycho verder gaat waar hij is gebleven. Dit komt omdat hij veelal dezelfde elementen gebruikte bij Sunrise Projector: ambient en idm gecombineerd met up- en downbeat tempo's. In tegenstelling tot Sunrise Projector combineert Tycho met Dive zijn IDM met house en ambient. Waardoor het chillwave genre ook half om de hoek komt kijken. Het gevolg is en mooie [...]

Tycho - Hours Tycho - Epigram Goddamn, this is a gorgeous release. Intricate, textured, multi-dimensional waves of beat and melody, and swirling instrumental atmospherics galore on Dive , courtesy of electro/synth wizard Tycho... I mean it - this thing as a whole is absolutely gorgeous, with its soundtrack of shimmering, otherworldly soundscapes that tend to recall a warm summer day or a hazy, blissed-out evening with a couple muscle relaxers . * For the [...]
