Tycho - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@screamingXskittles]

Brings me to tears. These guys have been in the background to some of both the best and worst moments of my life.

[@АндрейКукса-ф5ж]

Me too,man

[@juezmoral58]

You are not alone

[@Job.Well.Done_01]

I love you guys. I just cried listening to this for the hundredth time since COVID started. One of the best KEXP concerts ever posted and it has gotten me through some really awful times. I’ve often wondered if I’m the only one who cries from some of TYCHO’s songs lol

[@Fire0fear66]

@@Job.Well.Done_01 daydream and melanine have both brought me to tears, you arent the only one. plenty of amazing songs that relate to different parts of my life, hard not to go back to that time.

that guy is amazing on drums

[@ducktails99]

+Ipanen He's also toured with Com Truise. Check out his solo work - Nitemoves

[@dgw9051]

+Ipanen Top shelf band, they always remind me of old U2. They jam together so well. Rory O;Conner is the drummer. He does solo work under the name Nightmoves. Worth a look.

[@Merlin0fCamelot]

+Ipanen As a whole, this band is amazing.

[@ItHappens117]

Hats off to the guys in the control room; this is mixed incredibly well.

[@SkywardAudio]

Kexp does an outstanding job of mixing audio

[@veitastic6866]

I totally agree with you. You can hear every instrument so crystal clear - absolutely amazing. Especially the drums

[@steveanderson7864]

I've only watched this and RAKTA on there but both sounded amazing.

[@shadowblinkofficial]

agreed! so clean !

[@carpo719]

Not only that but the video is fantastic, great cuts

[@barryobongo8833]

imagine being a solo electronic artist and then you just happen to put together an amazing band and continue without stopping

[@monkeysalmon]

high kite fliers remote strings, Yes i agree

[@NoxiousPond]

I've been listening to tycho for 3 years and I honestly had no idea He used a full band. Talk about ignorance..... This blew me away. A walk live is astonishing to hear. I can't believe how well they turn this into live material. Talk about musicians.

[@kershawkel]

As far as i know the addition of a full band is a recent thing and his earlier material was just him. but the time i spent writing this i could have used google to make sure lmao oh well

[@munchi11]

He only uses a full band for live performances.

[@CitizenSniiiips]

The band has been a recent change. They were all involved in recording the new album, Scott just edits the shit out of all the recordings to make the tracks. Back in the day he used to record everything himself

[@hah7383]

Did all of you only watch the first 5 minutes of this video lol, they talk about all of that here.

[@deadmidi5684]

They've had a full band since 2012. C'mon

[@marsumarsu1732]

pay sound engineer Kevin Suggs some respect. This guy had one job. And he did it right !!

[@streetbeat4415]

So much this. The sound mixing is phenomenal.

[@upaiaq]

Kevin Suggs is the shit! He ALWAYS nails it.

[@lwb256]

You aint never lied.

pay that drummer some praise tooo omg.

[@MrDschiesus]

mixing/mastering is always real good imho. but the micing on the drums here - wow. good job indeed.

There is nothing like late night/early morning Tycho!

[@bucknasty5374]

[@ElCapisanto]

@@adammtroutman Fuck his hands man. The way he sounds is what matters. He is more than fulfilling his duty, he is improvising too. I'd say he is a lot better than average.

The drummer is something else. Just wow...

[@guigoune75]

OMG ... that drummer make my day.

[@blackstar25]

I’ve been waking up to Tycho’s ‘Dive’ for over a year now, and it’s still the perfect way to start my day. I recently learned that Tycho performs with a full band, and their music has been the soundtrack to so many of my work days. It’s inspired, motivated, and helped me through some tough times. Truly grateful for their sound!

[@ramapranendra3468]

They are so talented! For me, Tycho's music sounds like nature painting. They are painting sounds of water, wind, leaf, with their instrument.

Just wanted to say that I've watched this full performance 15-20 times in the last couple years. Come back to it about once a month. You guys really killed this performance - and as others have said, your drummer freaking rips. Much love to the Tycho guys, y'all are awesome

Beautiful music and set. Only just heard this version but the original had such memories dating back to 2013

This is the most positive comments section I've ever seen

[@j.p.1967]

Shut up

[@robbsaid610]

My young nephew was a brilliant guitarist and I had hoped he'd transition to playing this kinda chill music but he passed away and I'll forever wonder. But this one from Tycho always bringing me happy memories.

[@kendallrussell5195]

He is tight!!!!! You can set your atomic clock by his beat.

[@MikauGuitar]

I've been a fan of Tycho for years, but I had no idea they performed live this way!

[@falpatrick]

Oh my word. I never thought it would sound so lovely live. Ugh

[@machiavellianos]

It is not exactly a live performance, though. It is more likely a studio (jam) session. Don't underestimate the KEXP studio facilities.

[@joelarmstrongmusic]

J King still, they're pretty flawless live

[@bobbek18]

J King True that. They sound simply amazing at KEXP studio but didn't sound that great at Warsaw gig. Maybe my expectations were bit too big. I'm very glad I had a chance to see them anyway!

[@noktaluma]

Piotr Bogdan Hey, I know what you're talking about, I also have seen Tycho at Basen. I guess they played for a bigger audience and live performances with live people standing in front of you always have a different energy, different drive. Yes, Tycho sounded in another way, but it was mindblowing as well )))

[@ciikumurimi]

just the intro gave me chills!

[@l_bonza7555]

Same here

[@rickpeuser233]

[@Natashepherd]

Thank you😘

[@mgregory22]

Those drums sound freaking awesome

[@higler.]

This is how electronic music is meant to be enjoyed live, not from a laptop but performed by actual people.

[@BIGDRIP2]

+higler420 aw jeez not this shit again

[@jeffreyfuentes5582]

+Mrpaulojorge97 Well, he isn't entirely wrong. Most electronic music should easily be played using synthesizers (keyboards and such). Tycho just makes it easier for himself by using live instruments rather than a computer. Though, the computer is very helpful at times, Higler's pointing to people who stay on a laptop. That is condemnable.

[@christian31Eagles]

+higler420 I love Tycho. I also love ODESZA, Chromeo, Chet Faker, CHVRCHES, Crystal Castles, etc... but I'd be lying if I said I don't enjoy somebody like Hardwell or Tiesto either. Everybody has their own way of doing things.

not only didn't i know that tycho was a band and not a single dude, i didn't know they could play live like this, i assumed it was all mixed after many cuts. this is sick! so much respect.

[@phantommagnolia]

It s just a dude...

[@SamChaneyProductions]

@@phantommagnolia Clearly it's not. Maybe one person originally composed and produced the album, but this group of people playing live music in the video is (also) Tycho

[@phantommagnolia]

@@SamChaneyProductions no it s the band that plays along Tycho (the producer) lol

[@CollinBartley]

I've had a couple of a weird experiences involving Tycho. Last fall, I went to see a baseball game, and listened to Tycho on the ride up. After leaving the park, I noticed "Tycho", lit up on a theater billboard nearby, as they were scheduled to play the next month. I was kinda awestruck by the seemingly random coincidence. Then not a couple weeks later, I was listening to Tycho while heading up to watch an air-show (with jets, and airplanes and the such). They incorporated "Awake" into a specific part of their show. It took me a minute to realize I was hearing it! Made the show *that* much better for me. Funny experiences, incredible music.

[@luigeneguevarra4344]

The drummer is satisfying to watch

[@azoique]

I heard the recorded version of Awake for the first time recently and thought it was okay, not outstanding. But I was waking from a dream a couple of mornings ago, and for some reason its haunting yet optimistic melody came bubbling to the surface of my mind.
