【TYCHO】 The second album "Dive", released in 2011, received great support from CD shop buyers, and his reputation gradually expanded, recording a phenomenal long sales here in Japan. In 2013, he made his first visit to Japan at TAICO CLUB, and his live performance in the band made a great response. And this year, he released his 3rd album "Awake" in 2014. The response continues to spread like ripples. Based on a unique retro taste low-fie feeling, the sound of the crotch from electronica to ambient to dream pop to post-lock has gained a lot of support from a wide range of listeners. And finally I'll return to Japan with the first solo tour I've been waiting for! The aesthetic soundscape, sometimes pleasant and edgy loofy sound, and video production draws everyone to the world of euphoria! You can't miss this! 【Christopher Willits】 A musician/artist from Kansas City and currently based in San Francisco.
