Tycho - Infinite Health

Infinite Health finds Tycho chasing the sunlight again, a 2024 album of shimmering guitars, warm synths and drums that push harder than ever before.

It was Scott Hansen's first studio album since Simulcast in 2020, and it marks a shift in energy. Having spent years refining the hazy, beach-at-dusk sound that made Dive and Awake so beloved, Hansen co-produced this record with Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor, and the partnership brings a looser, more physical feel. Released through Mom + Pop and Ninja Tune, it plays like a band in a room rather than a producer at a laptop.

Consciousness Felt opens with layers of chiming guitar and a pulse that feels built for long drives. Phantom, the lead single, is all forward motion, its melody racing ahead of a crisp, propulsive beat. The title track balances that drive with Tycho's trademark nostalgia, and Totem leans into dense, swirling textures before the record winds down.

Across nine tracks and barely half an hour, nothing overstays its welcome. Every element is polished, but there is grit under the gloss.

It is an album about balance, between nature and technology, calm and momentum. Put it on at golden hour and let the room glow.
