As electronic artist Tycho, Scott Hansen blends swirling melodies into vaguely triumphant arcs that crisscross between stuttering beats and vocal samples, creating rolling sonic landscapes that extend into the horizon. Simulcast follows the release of Tycho's Grammy-nominated fifth studio effort Weather in 2019 and features instrumental versions of the album tracks. With Weather, Scott embarked on a journey to fulfill long-held vision of his: incorporating the human voice into his music. The endeavor signaled a bold shift in creative direction with the addition of musical collaboration and vocals by Saint Sinner to his previously instrumental-only sound. Unsurprisingly, the creative leap stuck the landing with the album debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Current Electronic Albums chart and satisfying both critics and fans alike.
