Tycho returns with a North American tour + listen to the first single off his new album

After five years away from the stage, Tycho has announced plans for a grand return with a North American headlining tour in support of his newly revealed seventh LP, INFINITE HEALTH. Today, TYCHO shared the album’s lead single, “Phantom,“ to keep fans satiated until its August 30th release via Mom + Pop / Ninja Tune.

Tycho will embark on the INFINITE HEALTH Tour only a couple of weeks after his new album arrives. The tour will stretch from September into November, with stops in Portland, Vancouver, Denver, San Diego, Phoenix, Dallas, Brooklyn, and more! Los Angeles residents don’t worry—a date is incoming per the hint Tycho dropped in the comments of his tour announcement post.

ARTISTS YOU SHOULD KNOW

BEST NEW MUSIC

Co-produced alongside Chris Taylor (Grizzly Bear) and Tycho guitarist Zac Brown, INFINITE HEALTH was conceived by Scott Hansen to be a dramatic, propulsive turn in a new direction. Creating a throbbing, anthemic, and infinitely danceable tracklist that is itself sonically and thematically hopeful. Talking about the record, the San Francisco artist said it was “about hope for the future and a requiem for the past.”

Elaborating on its inspirations, Hansen added: “I kept thinking back to the high-water mark scene in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, the author sitting at a typewriter looking out a window onto his past, trying to find meaning in the chaos. Infinite Health is about creating a space for reflection, a mantra for spiritual, emotional, and physical healing. Ultimately, all we really have is our health — both physical and mental — and we wish infinite health to our family and friends. So in those ways, infinite health is a salutation and an imperative.”

Pre-order INFINITE HEALTH before it arrives on August 30th.

The first taste of the electro-euphoria Tycho has dreamed up for his seventh studio album is “Phantom.” The track is a gloriously scintillating rush of vaporizing synths and bubbling bass—it’s not hard to see why Hansen declared this four-minute hypnotic descent his favorite on INFINITE HEALTH.

Joining the new single is a mesmeric, mind-bending music video that Tycho collaborated with Pixel Flux (Ricardo B. Ponce) to create. Honing in on a prismatic sphere of light, the film evokes the cosmic visuals found in “2001: A Space Odyssey” or “Interstellar,” and synced to the song the effect is doubly entrancing.

“I wanted ‘Phantom’ to feel like a blend of lights in a nightclub with some unknown entity; a moving and shifting intelligence that served as a conduit to a deeper understanding of what’s beneath the surface of existence,” Hansen explained. “It’s also about coming to terms with mortality, with the phantom being the ever-present specter. I spent more hours on this song than any other on the record. I played a Juno emulation for that bassline, and I feel like that bassline, and style of bass playing, is something pretty new for me.”
