I was always pretty indifferent to Tycho, the electro-music project of Scott Hansen—his particular sort of chillwave, ambient, downtempo sound just didn’t do it for me. But with this year’s Weather, I had a rather exciting change of heart. There’s something warm and organic and effortless about it, something that reminds me of Air, or Boards of Canada at their most lush. Plus, breathy dulcet guest vocals from Hannah Cottrell, aka Saint Sinner, on five of the eight tracks adds an element of sweet mystery. She’ll be joining him on the road, too, along with his full band. Support from Poolside, like a fresh breath of post-disco air, breezy and easy hit-the-spot sounds that are easy to sway and groove to, with falsetto vocals adding the perfect layer of creaminess. Expect an exquisitely laid-back evening.
