Tycho has announced a new LP, Infinite Health, which will be out August 30 via Mom + Pop in the US and Ninja Tune in the rest of the world. Check out the new single ‘Phantom’ below.
Infinite Health is about “about hope for the future and a requiem for the past,” Scott Hansen explained. “I kept thinking back to the high-water mark scene in Fear and Loathing, the author sitting at a typewriter looking out a window onto his past, trying to find meaning in the chaos. Infinite Health is about creating a space for healing and reflection, a mantra for spiritual, emotional, and physical healing. At the end of the day, all we really have is our health – both physical and mental – and we wish infinite health to our family and friends. So in those ways, infinite health is a salutation and an imperative.”
The album finds the producer “focusing on breaks, drums and rhythmic elements. Then, using that as the foundation, and having all the instrumentation follow that lead, as opposed to the other way around.”
About ‘Phantom’, Hansen said: “I wanted it to feel like a blend of lights in a nightclub with some unknown entity. The phantom; a moving and shifting intelligence that serves as a conduit, maybe a deeper understanding of what’s beneath the surface of this all. It’s also about coming to terms with mortality (the phantom being the ever present spectre of mortality).”
