Tycho - Awake (10th Anniversary Edition) Blue/beige - VINYL LP

ORANGE/RED. While his formative years were spent listening to everything from Yes to Photek, Scott Hansen didn't get his hands on an actual guitar or drum machine until he left his native Sacramento for San Francisco in 1995. InchEncountering this whole new world at 20 years old was a profound experience,Inch says Hansen, better known by his musical pseudonym Tycho and as the graphic artist ISO50. InchAt the time, I was just learning the processes of design and music; both felt very similar, and have flowed back and forth for me ever since. Inch As seamless as his two creative outlets have been, nearly a decade passed before the of Hansen's first proper Tycho LP, Sunrise Projector (later expanded and reissued under the title Past Is Prologue). And while three striking singles have emerged since then, the sum of all those sepia-toned parts is nowhere near the double-exposed soundscapes of Dive. The product of a prolonged break from IS050's design work and blog, it pays tribute to Tycho's prismatic past (the dense, guitar-guided turning points of InchDaydreamInch and InchAdriftInch) but spends most of it's time pointing to the project's not-so-distant future. That can mean any number of things, really, from the halcy- on hooks and hopeful horizons of InchA WalkInch to the expansive, wildly expressive tone poetry of the title track, an eight-min- ute epic that unfolds like a compressed concept album. Or at the very least, a restless vision of prog-rock-one that's been coated in neon colors and filtered through a thick piece of blotter paper. And then there's InchElegy,Inch a spare curtain closer that pairs a vulnerable crescendo with a fitting bridge to future works. And with that, Dive establishes it's position as the most diverse musical statement of Hansen's multi-medium career; the point where his skills as a performer finally catch up with his vaporized vision of

Minecraft - Volume Alpha is the work of German composer and musician Daniel Rosenfeld.

2024 . Khruangbin's fourth studio album, A La Sala (InchTo the RoomInch in Spanish), is an exercise in returning in order to go further, and doing so on your own terms. It continues the mystery and sanctity that is the key to how bassist Laura Lee Ochoa, drummer Donald InchDJInch Johnson, Jr. And guitarist Mark InchMarkoInch Speer approach music. If 2020's Mordechai, the last studio LP Khruangbin made without collaborators, was a party record that enhanced the band's musical reputation far and wide, then A La Sala is the measured morning after. It's a gorgeously airy record completed only in the company of the group's longtime engineer Steve Christensen, with minimal overdubs. It's a window onto the bounties powering Khruangbin's vision, a reimagining and refueling for the long haul ahead. A La Sala scales Khruangbin down to scale up, a creative strategy with the future in mind. Album Tracks 1. Fifteen Fifty-Three 2. May Ninth 3. Ada Jean 4. Farolim de Felgueiras 5. Pon PÓN 6.
