Interview with Tyson Motsenbocker

We had the pleasure of interviewing Tyson Motsenbocker over Zoom video.

Where do dreams go when you become an adult? Well, they don\u2019t disappear or dissolve into the ether. Those dreams simply change with you. However, it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t still grasp the way they made you feel. As such, we treasure memories by recalling them and sharing them as often as possible. Tyson Motsenbocker preserves those youthful memories in his music, etching them into the fabric of the songs. The Washington-born and California based singer and songwriter encases them in lithe melodies, upbeat soundscapes, and ponderous lyrics.
After generating tens of millions of streams and cultivating a devout fan base, he examines the jump from childhood to adulthood \u2013 or maybe just the space between the two \u2013 on his third full-length offering, Milk Teeth [Tooth & Nail].
Tyson has consistently tuned into such emotions with relatability and vulnerability. Following his 2016 debut LP Letters to Lost Loves, he spent as much time as possible on the road, performing countless shows and captivating audiences across America and beyond. However, he connected deeply on 2020\u2019s Someday I\u2019ll Make It All Up To You. Meanwhile, \u201cAutumn Love\u201d was generating two and a half million Spotify streams. The followup single \u201cSunday Morning\u201d followed close behind with nearly two million Spotify streams.
Just a handful of shows into what was booked to be a two year touring schedule, Covid 19 shut all touring down. Motsenbocker and his band headed home, where a period of reflection ensued, setting the foundation for what would become Milk Teeth.
Tyson hit the studio in Orange County, California with producer Nathan Cimino, drummer James McCalister, bassist Patrick Dodd and keyboardist Matthew Wright. Thematically reflected in the title (another name for \u201cbaby teeth\u201d), the music struck a sweet spot akin to the \u201csummer after you graduate from high school where you\u2019re walking the line between the confusion and excitement of childhood and the gravity of being an adult.\u201d
In the end, Tyson is an adult, and it ain\u2019t so bad. In fact, it sounds beautiful on Milk Teeth.
