Love chill, mellow, and uplifting instrumentals like Tycho? You’re in good company!

Below is a list of artists, albums, and songs we think you’ll enjoy if you vibe with Tycho’s sound (Pro tip: our Upbeat Ambient-Electronic playlist is packed with similar tunes too, so be sure to follow it to stay updated on the latest tracks.)

We’ve broken things down into two sections:

  • Direct Parallels – artists whose sound and instrumentation are especially close to Tycho’s style.
  • Kindred Sounds – artists who share a similar energy or mood, but branch out a bit more stylistically.

  1. Hi,

    My band THALOS is strongly inspired by Tycho, especially for our album Event Horizon. The songs Union or Dust can be a nice addition to the list or playlist.

    Thank you!

    1. Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll revisit the album soon.
