For nearly 20 years, Scott Hansen, known as Tycho, has crafted electronic music that balances exhilarating tracks like “Awake” with an indie-rock sensibility, featuring vintage analog synths and downtempo guitar. His latest, Infinite Health, aims to be a dose of emotional healing. On the next World Cafe, Tycho joins us to talk about how advancements in technology have streamlined his production process, and shares live performances recorded in Ogden, Utah.

Gary Clark Jr’s latest album is called JPEG RAW, an acronym for Jealousy, Pride, Envy, Greed, Rules, Alter Ego, and Worlds.
