[NEW MUSIC]: TYCHO'S 'COASTAL BRAKE'

December 8, 2009

[NEW MUSIC]: TYCHO

“Coastal Brake” is designer-slash-producer Scott Hansen’s third single as Tycho, and it’s almost certainly his best yet—a sweet slice of dream-beat that glides over the ocean surface like a high-speed waverider. “Coastal Brake”’s vintage synthesizers set the pointillistic scene, blipping and popping around a near-Balearic rhythm like melancholy drops in a river, rising and falling and building to a shimmering climax. It’s not quite dance music—more like Tycho’s soft-focus take on the escapist beauty of house.

Download ‘Coastal Brake’ at The Ghostly Store, or buy it on 12-inch vinyl, which comes with a limited-edition poster + download.
