Simulcast is a shining and beautifully crafted album that reaffirms Hansen's hold atop of 21st century ambient electronic.

Simulcast could be thought of as the more "background music" version of Weather, but even without lyrics, it's still meant to put your mind in motion. Both versions are equally worth the roughly half-hour it takes to listen to each.

What the project demonstrates is that Tycho has a great ear and understands deeply how pop music isn’t just about the lyrics – it’s about delivering an emotive punch through straightforward melodies ravelled around one another.

This instrumental companion to the San Francisco electronic musician’s 2019 album Weather is unfailingly mood-stabilizing and office-friendly, like a desktop screensaver of an ocean.

The first track, "Weather", is a very cool track with crisp percussion, reverb-soaked synth passages and tight mixing all round. "Outer Sunset" is also a... very cool track with... crisp percussion... reverb-soaked synth passages and... tight mixing. Yeah, he just kind of repeats the same track 8 more times on this record and, while it keeps it somewhat consistent sonically, it blemishes itself for the fact that there isn't a single standout track on here.

A beautifully produced album that sounds stellar and brings with it a constantly brimming tone, one of which can easily be put to the background and allowed to fill the room or your ears. However, where it exceeds in its sonic clarity it lacks in many other aspects necessary to propel it forward as an excellent release.

Tycho is a part of my life for me, because their songs accompany me for a decade, so I will never be the right person to review them
The band's biggest problem is that their only attempt at evolution was to add vocals to the songs, because they play the same ideas as on Dive only in other arrangements.
I STILL DO IT WONDERFUL AND I WANT TO LISTEN TO THIS HOURS, BUT DID I HAVE NEVER HEARED IT EVER?
Outer Sunset is great!

Outer Sunset is great!
Simulcast is a pleasant chillwave album with some great production but doesn't have enough variety to make me want to return to the album but overall was a very enjoyable listen to chill out to.
