Tycho has recruited Sea Lemon’s Natalie Lew for a laidback new single entitled “Anotherwave,” out now via Mom + Pop/Ninja Tune. The track was co-produced with Grizzly Bear’s Chris Taylor, and it follows Scott Hansen’s team-up with Interpol’s Paul Banks last October.
Regarding the new track, Hansen said: “I was driving late one night on a road trip through the California Central Valley when I first heard Sea Lemon’s music. ‘Eraser’ came on and immediately clicked; I think I listened to ‘Close Up’ about four times in a row. I started imagining Natalie’s vocals on this new song I had been working on; the lush textures felt like a perfect match for the sound. So at the next stop, I reached out and sent some demos. I was really happy when she picked the particular song I had in mind; that’s usually a good sign.
“We started bouncing ideas back and forth, and pretty soon thereafter, Natalie tracked the vocals at her place. The track was originally a sparse, synth-driven piece, but once I got the vocals in place, I realized something was missing from the overall composition. So Zac [Brown] came over and tracked some guitars, and it all came into focus quickly. This was one of those songs where I never really had to fight anything; it all just flowed, and those are the most fulfilling projects to work on. It was really an honor to work with such a talented artist as Natalie, and I’m very proud of what we created together.”
