Tycho – Epoch Downtempo Electronica/Ambient/Post Rock [NO FCCs] RIYL: Boards of Canada, Ulrich Schnauss, Neon Indian, Brian Eno The fourth LP of the Bay Area bedroom production-turned-band. A really distinctively warm, sweet sound, with gauzy analogue synth soundscapes. Straddles the line between chillwave and post rock – a good balance between their last two albums. 4,6,7&11 are great! --R.O.Y.G.B.I.V. *1. "Glider" [4:53] [slow fadeout] Anticipatory, like a sunrise; driving drum riff 2. "Horizon" [4:09] [semi-sudden stop] Swelling synths, guitar melody, unintelligible vocal samples, less prominent drums 3. "Slack" [4:11] [sudden stop] Pulsating synths interspersed with post-rock guitar, bursts of melodic phrases 4. "Receiver" [4:15] [moderate fadeout] Warm and cozy, downtempo, textural drums/drum machine 5. "Epoch” [5:45] [moderate fadeout] Expansive, not very melodic, subtle house beat, mostly synths ad drums *6. "Division" [3:58] [sudden stop] Prominent (bass) guitar and drums with warm synths, breaks out into some bright post rock moments – tells a story *7. "Source" [4:18] [moderate fadeout] Great drum fills, stop-and-start reverby guitars, relatively sparse in texture for the album 8. "Local" [2:53] [long fadeout] Spacey with an ever-so-slightly abrasive (for Tycho) guitar melody, low pass filter sweeps 9. "Rings" [4:08] [moderate fadeout] Underwater feel, faster tempo drums glues a lot of synths lines that bubble in and out 10. "Continuum" [1:44] [long fadeout] A warm, somewhat directionless interlude, understated *11. "Field” [2:40] [sudden stop] Strummed guitar, laid back, guitar melody that melts into the synths, lush | ||
