Tycho collaborates with Sea Lemon on "ANOTHERWAVE"

Tycho has collaborated with Seattle dreampop artist Sea Lemon for on the new single, “Anotherwave.” The track is available today via Mom + Pop in the U.S. and Ninja Tune globally.

“I was driving late one night on a road trip through the California Central Valley when I first heard Sea Lemon’s music,” says Tycho’s Scott Hansen. “Eraser came on and immediately clicked; I think I listened to Close Up about four times in a row. I started imagining Natalie’s vocals on this new song I had been working on; the lush textures felt like a perfect match for the sound. So at the next stop, I reached out and sent some demos. I was really happy when she picked the particular song I had in mind; that’s usually a good sign. We started bouncing ideas back and forth, and pretty soon thereafter, Natalie tracked the vocals at her place. The track was originally a sparse, synth-driven piece, but once I got the vocals in place, I realized something was missing from the overall composition. So Zac came over and tracked some guitars, and it all came into focus quickly. This was one of those songs where I never really had to fight anything; it all just flowed, and those are the most fulfilling projects to work on. It was really an honor to work with such a talented artist as Natalie, and I’m very proud of what we created together.”

”When Scott (Tycho) reached out to me and shared this song, I instantly felt a connection to the underwater-like quality of the sounds and textures,” says Sea Lemon (a.k.a. Seattle, WA-based musician Natalie Lew). “I started writing lyrics about being ‘caught in another wave,’ which turned into sort of the anthemic lyrics that get repeated throughout the song. I’ve been such a fan of Tycho for years, and getting the chance to work with him on a track is a total dream. Scott has an extremely creative, collaborative way of working, which makes coming together on a track like this a huge joy.”

Tycho, has worked with numerous acclaimed artists over the years, including ODESZA, Maggie Rogers, Little Dragon, Leon Bridges, Death Cab for Cutie, and more. The track follows the release earlier this year of “Forge,” a compelling instrumental companion piece to 2025’s “Boundary Rider,” a collaboration with Interpol’s Paul Banks.

Sea Lemon’s Natalie Lew grew up by the ocean, always harboring a fascination with the strange universes bubbling right below the surface. Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, she released her 2025 debut full-length, Diving For A Prize via Luminelle Recordings, is a haunting vision of Lew’s own creation, a vividly assembled snapshot of a place that is both fantastical and deeply curious.. “When I make a song, I think of it as its own little universe,” Lew explains. Inspired by artists like Enya, Caroline Polachek, Air, and My Bloody Valentine, Lew’s “shoegaze but with pop structures” songs have a knack for being earworm-y when you least expect it, embedding themselves in the listener’s psyche.
