Tycho - Dive
Dive is the second studio album by electronic artist Scott Hansen, aka Tycho. This album has remained on of my all time favorites since its release in 2011, five years after Tycho's first studio album Past is Prologue. Scott Hansen is a visual artist who is also known professionally as ISO50; it is unmistakably clear that he expresses his artistic talent through his music as well, both featuring serene and colorful imagery. Although making music is a pastime of Scott Hansen's (art being his primary focus), he has recently announced his change in heart, making his present focus on his music career prior to his up and coming album Awake, releasing in March 2014.
Tycho perfects the balance between sparkling highs and bellowing lows throughout Dive. The thick and cloudy bass creates the backbone of the endlessly extending treble. Throughout Dive, the treble flickers fast and violently from a darkened background. The momentary illumination that follows after each and every transition from one pop and sizzle to the next explodes into a new vast and mysterious portrait of the world. The bass is simple yet invigorating, giving a rounded and smoothed texture that flows and bleeds into the album.
The album's featured track, Dive, can not go unmentioned. An angelic, breathtaking voice ruptures the fabric of the atmosphere, lulling to the encompassing ecosystem of sound. The quick beats dip and weave in and out of one another, entangling the environment with ribbons of shimmering, golden velvet. Coastal Brake warps the world into a rhythmic and passionate marine world. Enclosing echoed, distorted bass and treble that ripples and dances, plunging into a deep pool of silver water, splashing the face of the close-eyed listener.
Dive is a completely hypnotic, enthralling album with vibrant, personified beats that suspend in a forged, divine realm. Within this surrealistic realm, the foreign life is sustained by the overbearing vividness that courses through its veins.
Imperial: 13/10
Metric: 9/10
