Awake represented a high-water mark for Scott Hansen, the San Francisco musician
better known as Tycho. Described by Hansen as, “in many ways, the first
True Tycho record,” Awake announced the arrival of Tycho as a full band,
and it found Hansen streamlining the group’s sound, focusing on the drums
and aiming to capture the energy and power of the group’s live set. The
story of Awake arrives at its natural conclusion with this 12” of remixes,
on which Hansen’s songs are re-interpreted by producers who make the
songs their own while retaining all of their core elements.
Baio, who splits his time between solo work and his role as bassist in Vampire
Weekend, gives “Plains” a kind of soulfulness, adding a driving
rhythm to the original’s beatless ambience and dropping in snatches of
vocal for texture and warmth. RJD2 takes the swift-kicking “Apogee”
and transforms it into tranquil instrumental funk; In the hands of Few
Nolder,“Montana” becomes tense and driving, four-on-the-floor beat
undergirding bright, rippling synths.
Additional remixes from Com Truise, Christopher Willits, Bibio and Beacon, which
had been previously released, have been added to this package. Taken together,
the Awake Remixes offer a parallel narrative for Tycho’s artistic
breakthrough.
