Tycho Jones' latest single, "Risk To My Reward," marks a triumphant comeback to the music scene following a hiatus to prioritize their mental health and prepare for their first official EP. The track showcases a significant evolution in Tycho's sound, trading their previously laid-back style for a more intuitive frontman delivery backed by an upbeat and eclectic instrumentation of rock-infused guitars, earthy bass, and driving percussion.
In 2021, Tycho Jones made their debut with their mixtape, Tychonaut. Their music captures the anxiety, dislocation, haze, and joy of being young in a time rife with worry and hopelessness. As a talented lyricist and songwriter, Tycho Jones has the ability to delve into these complex layers and convey them through their music.
Although their last track, 'Clouds,' had a bass-forward sound, their latest release, 'Risk To My Reward,' showcases an impressive evolution in Tycho's music. The song is less poised, more unruly, and unapologetically authentic. Comparable to the likes of The Strokes, alt-Pop meets nostalgic indie on this relentlessly catchy new track.
Despite taking a break from the music scene, Tycho has already made a remarkable impact, having been nominated for a UK VMA and selected by Virgil Abloh for his final exhibition Coming of Age in partnership with the Louis Vuitton Foundation. Moreover, the artist has received glowing reviews from leading authorities in the music industry, including Elton John, who praised Tycho as "someone I love from Britain" (Hot Press).
As an integral part of the East London indie label, Globe Town Records, Tycho has built a band, a live persona, and a style of movement ready for even bigger stages. Their trajectory in the music scene is already impressive, and they are set to continue captivating audiences and making waves in the industry.
The song's upbeat and eclectic instrumentation, coupled with its theme, makes for a captivating listening experience that speaks to the collective experience of being young in today's world.
