In 2014, Tycho has already conquered the United States and Europe on the strength of its recently released Awake LP. The initial tour schedule sold out entirely, so rather than vacation to bask in success, Scott Hansen and Co. are resuming the momentum by extending the Awake Tour through Europe and North America once again.
To celebrate the announcement of the tour extension, Tycho released a Com Truise remix to the album's title track. The original crystalizes like morning dew to the window on a humid morning. Written in a cabin near Lake Tahoe, “Awake” captures the tranquility of an early rise to watch the sun rise behind the mountain range and begin its ascent over the icey waters of a lake with an unknown depth. In the hands of Com Truise, “Awake” is transformed every so slightly. The setting could be kept in the dawn at the foot of a magnificent lake, except in Truise's world there are two moons and it's the year 2044 on a distant planet also able sustain life. Each version is looking out to great beyond and sending similiar transmissions in hopes of making contact.
Tycho's Awake is out now on Ghostly International.
