Update: The 12″ is now available for Pre-Order at the ISO50 Shop.

The new Tycho single, Coastal Brake, is finally all set for release. Above you can see the 12″ vinyl cover art including the reverse and stickers. There is also a limited edition poster with alternate artwork folded into each vinyl sleeve — I’ll post more on that and the process of creating the artwork as we get closer to the release date.

I got the finished vinyl in the other day and they look great — I’ll post up some pics next week. The official release date for the vinyl and digital is December 8th but we will be taking pre-orders starting November 2nd at The ISO50 Shop. I’ll be posting more details as the become available. | Comment on this post

Update: apparently you can hear one of the remixes from the 12″ via the Ghostly Discovery App. If you dial in these mood settings, the resulting playlist should include the Lusine remix of Coastal Brake (you may have to click next a few times). Enjoy.

    i’m speechless! this is staggeringly beautiful, scott. you really knocked it out there on this one. the typography alone made me gasp. awesome work, man.

  2. TheMem says:

    I will have to listen to this! The artwork is out of this world! Awesome!

  3. Jason Warth says:

    Agreed. Fantastic work. When the page loaded and I saw that first image, I knew it had to be Tycho stuff. Really awesome stuff, Scott. I can’t wait for my first opportunity to design for vinyl (hopefully soon).

  4. Nice designs Scott, it’s nice to see the entire piece now.

    The only things I don’t like is those little red numbers on the front, I find them quite distracting, taking focus away from the woman. The back feels impotent to me, like the album title should perhaps be larger to give it a sense of hierarchy.

    Really love those stickers, especially that out-of-focus water one, that’s just hot. Great composition.

  5. Rent says:

    stunning work. can’t wait to get this.

  6. Please Scott, if you can update this post with anywhere that allows you to listen to the track, that would be appreciated. I’m super keen to hear your new song. Specifically the original version made by you, not the remixes.

  7. Lewie says:

    Loving this artwork – seriously nice.

  8. Ole Martin says:

    Beautiful! Are you bringing some LPs and posters to Tromsø for us to purchase?

  9. Brian says:

    Wow, just one word explains it all…”beautiful.” Love the entire system, your illustrations, colors and type are amazing. Can not wait to get my hands on this. You are such an inspiration.

  10. RA_OUL says:

    Wow…You’ve created another masterpiece. I remember seeing this graphic back on the 9900 post and now finally seeing it in the artwork set, it is really stunning. I was really struck by your use of color and type treatment which is sitting on the page really nicely, breathing the negative space around surrounding it. I wouldn’t change a thing. I’m super exited about the release date because that is my birthday so it will be a nice gift for myself. I am definitely going to be on that pre-order for sure. Great work again Scott. Your work is truly inspirational. Thank you.

  11. Spir says:

    Arg I guess international delivery will be expensive. I so want vinyl!
    Any deals with HHV.de?

  12. Mr Mustard says:

    This is probably your best work I’ve seen to date. More mature than your usual retro-styled-heavy-layered-distressed-vector-photo thing. This one is not pretending to be anything, do you get what I mean? Also on some of your stuff I can sort of see Photoshop shining through (even though you work hard to get an analog feel). I don’t see PS tracers on this piece. Classic.

  13. Shelby W. says:

    Gorgeous job on the artwork Scott!

  14. drew kora says:

    Can’t wait! I’m looking forward to playing this on my 60s era Hi-Fi… http://tinyurl.com/n6q9qf

  15. Brendan Bercik says:

    Brilliant artwork/design Scott. Once again you never cease to amaze with your inspiration, taste, and then of course your work.

  16. Chris says:

    Love the track, I heard it about a week ago on the Ghostly app and was like…is that what I think it is? Very nice, I’m liking the slightly new direction in sound for you.

    Also love the print work.

  17. Gareth says:

    beautiful artwork! will the track be available on spotify?

  18. defte says:

    very very very very very G*damn hot!

    cheers,
    defte

  19. defte says:

    Great print! Gorgeous idea… I cant wait to hear the track!

    cheers,
    defte

  20. AndresM says:

    DAH! so gorgeous. I have an empty 12″ album frame that needs filling.

  21. jarred says:

    so refined and subtle…awesome.

  22. Cornelius says:

    Beautiful work as always Scott. Even though you are streets ahead of me in terms of design talent, I can still see that you are maturing all the time with your work, this for me is another level for you. Really like it.

  23. Caco says:

    This is cool Scott. I was a little disappointed last time I ordered your 12″ sampler. I though I would get some cool artwork and got a generic sleeve instead. So I’m stoked about this one. Thanks for thinking of us analog freaks.

  24. Golukas says:

    so wooooow, Yo pido a gritos todo el paquete!
    pleease is there any info about the billing to Mexico city?
    obviously I want to make my order.
    Congrats Scott, so what I can expect?, is Scott H. work! : )

  25. Nick says:

    By far the greatest coffee cup stain ever!

    Seriously though – awesome.

  26. brian says:

    sorry to be redundant, but wow. gorgeous.

  27. greg says:

    Beautiful work again, Scotty ol’ boy.

    I think I prefer the back cover though, for some reason.

  28. This feels very fresh and seems to be a break from your other work. It’s always nice to see what direction you are going in next. – T

  29. Bas says:

    I agree with Mr Mustard. Not that your old stuff was bad (on the contrary!) but the ‘Huron Spectrum’, ‘Skyway’, ‘Command’ and ‘Dual’ posters wer a bit too much. And a bit too fabricated.
    This seems pretty much like a new artwork phase for you. I think you’re pushing yourself even further.

    Beautiful artwork, especially the back actually blew me away. Was waiting for this piece to pop up, after seeing it here before (in de printer video?).

    Keep on going, this is awesome!

  30. Jakub says:

    i’m waiting for my copy, framing it and putting it in my bedroom

  31. Thain Lurk says:

    Scott,
    I get reborn in my love for design when I view your work!

    I have never seen another digitally trained artist who can continually improve and blend his style in such a new and forward thinking way. I hope you keep sharing your mind with us.

  32. koneyn says:

    Fantastic! I have to admit, sometimes I feel you are running around in circles with your own style, but this is something different and really a wonderful step forward! GOOD LUCK!

  33. Keith says:

    Finally!…i’ve been waiting with great anticipation for new work…ever since the Manual remix of Coastal Brake came out, i’ve been craving the new single and am glad to see that it’s on the horizon… as always, you’ve got the best packaging of anyone out there, the artwork is truly a marvel to behold…can’t wait for the single, and I am about to jump out my skin thinking what the next full-length album will be like…I know you’re working hard, man, and I appreciate it…keep up the good work, Scott…i’ll keep spreading the word in DC…cheers!…

  34. dc says:

    3,22 seems a bit short for a Hatchback remix, is that the same Hatchback ?

  35. Marcel says:

    I’m speechless. I’ve been looking forward to hearing your new material, but then I saw the cover. Wow. Excellent work man, really looking forward to getting my copy!

  36. oz says:

    A thing of beauty. Haven’t bought any vinyl in a long time, although I own plenty from a while back. This is being purchased. Love it Scott.

  37. ryan says:

    Scott, please make more and add them to the store. You have my word that I will buy a poster of this, perhaps 2, one for my house and one for the office. Beautiful and highly inspirational. Can’t wait to hear this.

  38. NAVIS says:

    By far one of the best pieces you’ve ever produced. Can’t wait to hear what you have in store for us fans in the music department. I showed my dad your music and he plays it all the time in his observatory now.

    So stop being a God damn perfectionist and put the album out already! It’s been like 84 years since your last one. Or something like that.

  39. Lee says:

    Amazing graphics and layout. Just love the pose of the woman, the kind of coffee mug stain, and then lens flare… combined the colors and typography, great great stuff. Can’t wait to hear the music to go along with this.

  40. Cedi says:

    Man! This is just beautiful cover artwork! I absolutely love it!

    Can’t wait to hear the single!

  41. The art work alone is enough to buy this work, most wonderful piece to date!

  42. adriana says:

    times like this, i wish i had an iphone. can’t wait to hear it scott.

  43. arupp-Myxomatosis says:

    it is hard for me to get excited about new music these days, thx for keeping the flame alive

  44. perkola says:

    Brilliant. Mesmerizing beauty. Any chance it will make it’s way onto a shirt?

  45. Agustín says:

    Awesome, I was wondering when you will releasing some new work 🙂

  46. Lee S. says:

    I definitely second perkola’s question. I’d LOVE to have that design on a shirt.

    Thank you for your music. I can’t get enough of it. You’re a godsend.

  47. Andrew J. says:

    damn i really wish the ghostly discovery app was on the g1…..

  48. Tristen says:

    @Scott Can’t wait to hear the new music. I’ve been wondering (unrelated to this post) what plugin(s) are you using to get the ‘featured post’ with images on the sidebar; and which for the ‘Share on Facebook’ & ‘Tweet This’ links. Thanks.

  49. AC says:

    you should design the intro to the next Bond movie. seriously bro.

  50. Jeff Finley says:

    I can’t help but chime in here, but I really like the new direction.

  51. wharf says:

    Looks like the star wars rebel symbol.

  52. Paul says:

    Good stuff!

  53. Bryan says:

    Was going to say I wish this was being released on CD, but realized that in large part I just buy them for the artwork anyway. So I think I’ll be buying this beautiful vinyl.

  54. December 8th is my birthday. Thanks for this Scott. I am gonna buy it for my birthday present. Can’t wait!.

  55. Goldorak says:

    This is by far the most beautiful sleeve I have ever see!!! Will copy this one for sure!

  56. yep – just listened to the track on the Ghostly app. top work scott

  57. Matt X says:

    our hypnotic techno friends in italy had a similar flavored logo: http://www.dozzyrecords.com/

    check out their music, deep hypnotic trance/techno.

  58. J says:

    Just found the song on the Ghostly App… GREAT JOB!!! Can’t wait to hear the whole thing! Of course, amazing art as usual. And I agree, this should be available on a shirt. Please??

  59. Ludovic says:

    Hey Scott, the package is so beautiful and I don’t know what else to say.

  60. Andy says:

    simply splendid…….i cant put my finger on quite why 🙂

    it just is

  61. kimoni says:

    Have to agree with Mr Mustard on this- for me this is your best work to date

  62. jakeb says:

    if this is anything close to past is prologue (one of my favorite albums ever) i will be immensely pleased….p.s. whens the pre-order gonna hit the store?

  63. mat says:

    I’m so excited about this release… Past is Prologue has been one of my favourite’s the past few years. I hope the beauty of the Coastal Brake artwork reflects the beauty of the sounds within… I’m sure it will!

    When’s this available for pre-order? Come to the UK!!

  64. Jeffdoe says:

    Holy fuck this album art is sick. I instantly heard the tune just by looking at the art work.

  65. cmh says:

    when is the preorder available? It says nov 2nd, I’m checking the tycho store but there is no link?

  66. Jon Kantro says:

    Just placed my pre-order! Stoked to hear the new single and remixes. Fantastic design as usual.
