Tycho joins forces with Interpol's Paul Banks on new release, "Boundary Rider"

"Interpol has long been one of my biggest influences so I jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with Paul on a song,” explains Hansen. “Boundary Rider started life as an atmospheric instrumental song titled “Forge” that I had been working on here and there for a couple of years. When I met Paul and started thinking about what songs might connect with his voice, Forge immediately came to mind.”

“I sent him a demo along with the prompt “Boundary Rider”. I had been reading about the lives of Boundary Riders during the 1930’s, people who patrolled and maintained fences in the vast expanse of the Western Australian outback. There was something about this solitary existence that I felt resonated with the song and the deep sense of isolation in Paul’s lyrics brought this into focus.”

The release follows Tycho’s Infinite Health album. Released last year, it was the sixth studio record for the twice Grammy-nominated artist, who has a long history of notable collaborations and remixes, working with the likes of ODESZA, Maggie Rogers, Little Dragon, Leon Bridges, and Death Cab for Cutie.
