Tycho's Epoch turns 10 with a limited-edition repress

Surprise-released in 2016 to widespread acclaim, including Tycho's first-ever GRAMMY nomination, Epoch completed an LP trilogy and propelled the project to new heights. Tight and refined, the album leveraged Dive's downtempo synth aesthetic while drawing on the kinetic energy of Awake's progressive composition and organic instrumentation. Scott Hansen reflects, "Epoch is basically coming full circle. All the lessons were applied and then expanded upon."

To mark its 10th anniversary, we've repressed the fan favorite in a limited-edition colorway.

Epoch was produced and recorded by Hansen predominantly in his home studio in Berkeley, California. The album was arranged alongside long time collaborator and partner in the project, Zac Brown. Brown contributed bass and guitar parts to the songwriting process while Rory O’Connor performed drums on the album. Hansen sees Epoch as a multi-dimensional artistic vision at the confluence of his graphic design work via ISO50 and music with Tycho. The graphic presentation of album artwork is as important as the music itself. The keystone is the central image of Epoch and the colors scheme red and black. This is a stark contrast to the almost rainbow palette of Awake. 

When discussing the surprise element of this release Hansen said, “I've never been fond of the ‘hand in the album then wait 4 months for it to come out' release schedule. I wanted to be more connected to the people consuming the music." He continues, "There is a kind of visceral fulfillment you get from sharing something that you've just created with other people. We just finished mastering the album in late august so it will barely be a month old when people hear it. That's a very satisfying feeling as an artist.“
