"This was the stylistic center of what I had been working towards before the vocals-this grainy, digital era of synthesizers. So it was like, okay, I gotta step this up." Once all this stuff started coming together and I started hearing what it was going to be, there was definitely this element of, all right, this song wants to be huge and big and powerful. The second she sang, it was like, oh yeah, that’s what it was missing. And slowly, it was like, it’s probably vocals.
"When I didn’t know if there were going to be vocals or not, I really struggled, because I was like, what is this? How do you make this into a compelling instrumental? There’s something really cool about this song, but it feels like it’s missing something big. Cool, okay, what a relief.' And then I hit them over the head with 'Pink and Blue.'” They're like, 'Oh, he’s just going to use them like he used to. You introduce vocals and lull people into a false sense of security. It made me realize, this is a great jumping-off point as the first track. But then, after I’d worked with Hannah on all the vocal sessions and we were pretty much done, I pulled out all these unused vocal samples, and I thought it would be cool to work with her voice like I used to work with voices-like a sampler, like an instrument. "I made the instrumental version that I was really happy with. I was just like, this isn't a feature, this is literally what Tycho is right now.” Through each of the album's tracks, Hansen tells us more about that transformation. “I wanted this to be somebody nobody had ever heard of. "I just kind of followed her on her trip,” Hansen tells Apple Music. With Cottrell, things were different, and before long a handful of demos had turned into an entire album. Hansen had wanted to work with a singer for years, but nothing had ever clicked.
Hannah Cottrell-a Texas singer-songwriter with very little on record until now. That’s hardly unusual for Tycho’s brand of chill, but where his peers might recruit a rotating cast of featured singers, Weather’s eight vocal tracks are all the work of just one person: Saint Sinner, a.k.a. But Weather, his follow-up to 2016’s Epoch, marks a major shift: It’s his first album to feature vocals-not just massaging them into the mix, but setting them front and center. There’s a sense of continuity that runs through the music that San Francisco’s Scott Hansen makes as Tycho.
