Epoch

An epoch is defined as an extended period of time typically characterized by a distinctive development or by a memorable series of events, and Scott Hansen, leader of Tycho, has named their new album Epoch with that in mind.

Tycho's Epoch is the final album in the trilogy beginning with 2011's Dive, then 2014's Awake and culminating with the new album. This period between Dive and Epoch marks a significant maturation for Scott Hansen's continually expanding project, one that has taken him from a solo performer and bedroom artist to fronting a multi-layered band on large stages across the world.

Epoch was arranged alongside Zac Brown, a long-time collaborator and partner in the Tycho project. Brown contributed bass and guitar parts to the song writing process, while Rory O'Connor played drums. O'Connor was brought in during the Dive tour cycle.

"On Epoch, Hansen, Brown and O'Connor are in the prime of their careers." - Exclaim

"Irrespective of how you choose to approach it, the final instalment of the trilogy that Hansen began back in 2011 fully underlines his strength, deftness and creative dexterity as a producer." - Clash Music
