The title track on Tycho's long-awaited Dive LP is just that—a ripple effect record that sounds like three songs in one, as if sound/graphic designer Scott Hansen just discovered prog-rock and decided to apply its winding passages to his own singular blend of sinewy synths and bleached beats. It's also the first Tycho song to feature a prominent guest musician; guitarist Zac Brown, in this case, who paints outside the lines of Hansen's halcyon hooks with restless rhythms and monorail-like riffs.

The "Dive" single fleshes things out even further, as Keep Shelly in Athens and Memoryhouse—both rising underground artists in their own right—cut Hansen's cloud-scraping composition in half and slow his cruise control chords down to a crawl. The misty vocal melodies are still there, but they're now floating through an embryonic assembly of jittery cicadas, rusty gears, and lean loops that are both welcoming and a bit woozy. The sonic equivalent of staring at the sun for too long, really, or two sides of the same cracked mirror. Ghostly International is releasing the Dive single April 3rd on vinyl and digital download, and XLR8R premiered the Keep Shelly In Athens remix which you can find here. Tycho will be hitting Austin for SXSW in March as well. See below for the list of confirmed dates as of now.
