Tyko combine classic shoegazer and dream pop threads à la My Bloody Valentine and Swervedriver with fancy new wave beats for a mesmerizing post-rock/experimental sound of their own.
Hailing from Fayetteville, AR, Tyko formed in 2001. Kevin Blagg (vocals/guitar), Matt Kesner (guitar), Beverly Blann (vocals/bass), and former Swiz/Severin compatriot Alex Daniels (drums) released two albums -- Could Have Been Stars (2001) and Transmissions from the Biosphere (2002) -- and received moderate airplay on college radio with their single "Saturn 5." Gigs in and around the Midwest and Southeast gave the band the needed experience to record a proper follow-up. Tyko signed to the Providence-based label Blisscent in early 2003. The gossamer soundscape that is A Long Way from One to Zero was issued in March 2004. ~ MacKenzie Wilson
