Weather pushes the boundaries of Tycho's traditional sound, and in so doing, proves there is something serious to be said about stepping outside the comfort zone.
At just eight low-stress tracks, this isn't so much a headlong dash for horizons new as it is a gentle evolution, but you could do far worse than kick back and enjoy the weather.
Weather functions as one would expect of Tycho's vision of a pop album -- it's immaculately crafted as well as relatable, while also smooth and unchallenging enough to warrant repeated background listening.
To be honest, I was never really blown away by Tycho's music and this doesn't really do much to change that. However, I will say that it's a breezy, well-crafted and rather harmless record, with the addition of vocals being a decent change of pace.

It may seem more effective for Scott Hansen to approach the weather with Saint Sinner on his side, but he intentionally neglected that the weather has many faces.
I have lately been listening to a lot of Tycho while coding, I'm a video game coder and this is great background music to do so.
Entertaining enough, so it's not boring, not distracting enough, so I don't lose concentration.
Great stuff, Tycho, as always.
