  • Tycho has just released a new album on Ghostly International called Epoch. The album is available digitally today, September 30th, with the physical version following in January of 2017. It's the third and final instalment in a trilogy preceded by 2011's Dive and 2014's Awake. In the time since Awake came out, Tycho has evolved from Scott Hansen's solo project into a four-piece band. "I've never been fond of handing in an album then waiting four months for it to be released," says Hansen. "I wanted to be more connected to the people consuming the music. There is a kind of visceral fulfillment you get from sharing something that you've just created with other people. That's a very satisfying feeling as an artist." He adds: "All art is in some way shaped by the current state of the world around the person creating it so there's a element of zeitgeist built into any album. We just finished mastering the album so it will be a month old when people hear it. I'm hoping people get a sense that this music is directly connected to the time they are experiencing it in." Listen to the album in full.
