Welcome to The Daily Swim, a running series on The Sights and Sounds in an effort to bring you as much new music as we can. As a daily swimmer, water has always served as a dichotomy to my psyche – wholly and unswervingly calming in it’s vast simplicity yet at the same time able to harness and create massive amounts of energy. Which is exactly the type of music The Daily Swim will feature – no fuss posts with tracks from great producers that serve as both calming and energizing to get you through the deep end of your day.
Scott Hansen, a graphic artist who produces ambient music by the moniker Tycho, has just unveiled the first ripples of his new LP due out next year. Like the tide coming in, “Awake” slowly laps at your tired legs forcing you to start your day as gentle lulls of synth pull you out of your dreams and into reality, the guitar and drums setting an unconsciously addicting pace for the rest of your day. Enjoy below.
