Tycho - Infinite Health (Blue Vinyl)

"Infinite Health is the engrossing sixth album by Tycho, the two-time-GRAMMY-nominated project of celebrated San Francisco songwriter, musician and producer Scott Hansen. Sonically, the record sees him return to a more electronic-based production style, 'focusing on breaks, drums and rhythmic elements' he says. 'Then, using that as the foundation, and having all the instrumentation follow that lead, as opposed to the other way around.' Although it retains the personnel of recent works — as usual, Zac Brown shares guitar, and Rory O’Connor’s behind the kit — Hansen considers Infinite Health to mark a fourth era for Tycho. Hansen dove into the ‘Infinite Health’ recording process with aural distinctiveness, and concision, as artistic goals. These were partly achieved through an emphasis on the uptempo, danceable elements of Tycho’s sound, and keen co-production by Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor. By utilizing a palette of chopped up drums and warm, rounded guitars, Infinite Health becomes its own miniature world. Infinite Health is your waystation to a fresh, updated world for Tycho. After more than two decades, Hansen’s still at the vanguard of electronic music — with so much more to say through his samplers and synths."
