Tycho announce new album with vocal-led single "Pink & Blue"
Tycho have announced their new album Weather, alongside revealing the vocal-led single, "Pink & Blue".
"Pink & Blue" features vocals from Saint Sinner's Hannah Cottrell, and is the first ever vocal-led track from Tycho.
Speaking about the single, Cottrell explains, "The lines, "Oh, pink and blue, you know I look good on you", originally stemmed from when I was romantically involved with a man and a woman simultaneously, for the first time in my life. It was a defining moment for me. I went from being a young religious kid who thought she would marry a man to a young woman who realised her love for women. "Pink & Blue" is a love song to no one, to everyone, and to myself. It’s a sweet reminder to all lovers to hold onto their love with open arms; to be fearless about any type of love and to be fearless about losing their love. Love is never lost."
Cottrell has also contributed vocals to other tracks from Tycho's upcoming record. Speaking about the record, Tycho's Scott Hansen says, "When setting out to record Weather, I wanted to finally fulfil what had been a vision of mine since the beginning: to incorporate the most organic instrument of all, the human voice. I met Hannah Cottrell, and the vocal component of the album immediately came into focus. Our initial sessions were incredibly productive and I strongly identified with the imagery in her lyrics. Her vision folded effortlessly into mine and her voice integrated seamlessly into the sonic landscape, opening new spaces for me as a songwriter and producer."
Weather will also feature Tycho's first single from April, "Easy".
