producer - Scott Hansen
note: "Tycho's Scott Hansen also works as a graphic designer, and it shows in this slick, attractive production. He fits in well at Ghostly, which betrays a workmanlike aesthetic when it comes to ambient and IDM music-- a fussy classicism, flawless to a fault. Last year, they released the Sight Below's Glider, a textbook illustration of Gas that was unflashy, rigorous, and endlessly playable. Tycho graphs out more recent motifs-- Balearic chill waves, bloopy glo-fi arpeggios, space-disco vapor trails-- with similarly clean lines. His pinging synths and flickering guitars mesh like clock gears, with no margin of error, but pitches and tempos fray and stream at the edges, easing the rigidity. Moving in a fluid series of hesitations and rushes, "Coastal Brake" offers few surprises, but continuously delivers little thrills like a time-released capsule." - Pitchfork.
