Fourth (album)

Fourth is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Tycho. It was released on August 26, 2014, by Ghostly International. The album continues Tycho's signature sound of ambient electronic music blended with elements of IDM, downtempo, and shoegaze, but features a slightly more polished and streamlined production compared to their previous works. Fourth also marked a subtle shift towards a more melodic and song-structured approach, including more prominent guitar riffs and synthesized melodies. Scott Hansen, the founder and principal member of Tycho, aimed to capture a feeling of nostalgia and reflection within the album's tracks. Notable tracks from Fourth include "Dive," "Montana," and "See." The album received generally positive reviews upon its release, with critics praising its atmospheric soundscapes and evocative compositions. It peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200 chart in the United States.
