“On Awake, Scott Hansen, the San Francisco-based visual artist who records colorful techno as Tycho, expands his sound. It's the first Tycho album recorded as a three-piece band, and his previous albums now sound like mere dreams of the luminous world he was trying to create.”
“Tycho makes the transition from hazy bedroom producer to what almost sounds like a full instrumental rock band on this latest record of his.”
