There are collaborations that merge genres and then there are ones that merge worlds. GRAMMY-nominated electronic visionary Tycho (Scott Hansen) unveils a striking new single featuring the unmistakable voice of Paul Banks of Interpol. Boundary Rider, is composed of the visceral solitude of wide-open landscapes, blending crisp percussion, winding guitars and fleeting synths. Tycho reveals the track began as an instrumental titled "Forge,” before taking new life when Banks entered the frame. Tycho had to say:
Interpol has long been one of my biggest influences so I jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with Paul on a song… I had been reading about the lives of Boundary Riders in the 1930s, people who patrolled and maintained fences in the vast expanse of the Western Australian outback. There was something about this solitary existence that I felt resonated with the song and the deep sense of isolation in Paul’s lyrics brought this into focus.
“Boundary Rider” arrives on the heels of Tycho’s sixth studio album Infinite Health and marks the beginning of a fresh chapter in his collaborative evolution. Fans will soon have the rare chance to experience Tycho’s ISO50 visual universe live as he brings TYCHO:ISO50 to Art Basel Miami this year. Interpol, meanwhile, are in the midst of celebrating the 20th anniversary of Antics and preparing for South American tour dates in 2026. Watch the official visualizer to “Boundary Rider,” reinforcing the significance of this moment where two influence-shaping forces collide. Follow Tycho on INSTAGRAM, TIKTOK, FACEBOOK, and TWITTER.
