Tycho - "Time to Run" a 2023 single on Mom + Pop Records

It should come as no surprise that our host of The Runcast should choose the track "Time To Run" for today\'s Song of the Day. Like KEXP DJ John Richards, Scott Hansen \\u2014 the producer behind long-running electronic project Tycho \\u2014 is a runner. As he explains in a press statement:

\\n

\\u201cMusic has always served as a kind of meditation for me, long before I started creating it. As a competitive runner throughout my early life, I would play back loops of songs in my head to cope with the stress of races, focusing on rhythmic elements to help pace myself and stay calm. There is a unique form of clarity that I have found through the meditative practice of running, it is a fundamentally human experience and when I feel the deepest connection between the mind, body and nature. \\u2018Time To Run\\u2019 is my attempt to translate these ideas into music. My goal was to approach the composition from a new angle and let the rhythmic elements take the lead. I cast the melodic elements that have come to define the Tycho sound in a new light by juxtaposing them against a new foundation that takes cues from funk music.\\u201d

The track gives a tease at Tycho\'s forthcoming 2024 full-length. Details are scarce, but MusicTech reports that Grizzly Bear\\u2019s Christopher Taylor will be on board as mix engineer.\\xa0
