For nearly a decade, Tycho has been known as the musical alias of Scott Hansen, but with the release of Awake – his second LP for Ghostly International – the solo project has evolved into a three-piece band. The revamped trio, known for their ambient downtempo grooves, will take the Jefferson Theater stage on April 22.
