TYCHO – Dive (Pts 1-4)
Zach Evans and André Salas dig into Tycho’s album Dive, an electronic nostalgia trip that takes a while for either of these guys to get into, but soon finds them “meditating” with lotion and referencing something called Emmanuelle 8, which…um…I don’t know.
TYCHO – Dive (Part 4)
Q: Dude, seriously. WTF is Emmanuelle 8? A: “Hot scene sicak sexy seksi.” oh.
TYCHO – Dive (Part 3)
André returns from a brief hiatus (locked in his bedroom with a bottle of lotion, perhaps?) to level a final verdict on the most difficult album we’ve asked him to tackle this year. Tycho occasionally strays from the expected, and that’s where Dive really shines. There’s also a reference in here to Emmanuelle 8, which, … Continue reading
TYCHO – Dive (Part 2)
Zach takes Tycho apart piece by piece like a fine clock maker, examining what exactly makes the album tick and struggling with whether or not what he’s doing is really worth the time it’s taking to do it. Like his graphic design work as ISO50, Zach says Tycho’s music is pretty and interesting but hardly … Continue reading
TYCHO – Dive (Part 1)
Looking for music to make whoopee to? Ghostly International’s Scott Hansen has you covered with his second LP, Dive, under the Tycho moniker. André Salas rushes to avoid the Wrath of Brandon in analyzing Dive’s nostalgic allusions to Boards of Canada and Tangerine Dream in this letter to Zach Evans.
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Pts 1-7)
M83’s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming doesn’t come out until October 18th, but the damn thing is so epic, we had to get an early jump on it. Brandon, Chris Atto, and André Salas break down the double disc follow-up to the spectacular Saturdays=Youth. Topics include: children’s dreams, magic frogs, plush vampires, a Pretty in Pink … Continue reading
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 7!)
Brandon brings it home with Part 7 of AudioVole’s most epic dialectic for what will likely be the most epic album of the Fall. Just remember this axiom: 10 song album = 90 minute movie. Don’t nobody got a problem with a 90 minute movie.
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 6)
André corrects the record and demands more Zola Jesus. Word. Seconded.
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 5)
Chris misses Kibby, catches heat, ignores Saturdays=Youth, and doesn’t realize what a hotbed of singles this album is.
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 4)
Brandon is torn like Natalie Imbruglia. Remember that? I just took you back, son. This is the most Natalie Imbruglia’s been talked about in 10 years. In news relevant to M83, Brandon questions André’s assertion that the album is full of filler, masturbates to Rita Hayworth, breaks up with shuffle – the whore – and … Continue reading
