Биография

Where do dreams go when you become an adult? Well, they don’t disappear or dissolve into the ether. Those dreams simply change with you. However, it doesn’t mean you can’t still grasp the way they made you feel. As such, we treasure memories by recalling them and sharing them as often as possible. Tyson Motsenbocker preserves those youthful memories in his music, etching them into the fabric of the songs. The Washington-born and California- based singer and songwriter encases them in lithe melodies, upbeat soundscapes, and ponderous lyrics. After generating tens of millions of streams and cultivating a devout fan base, he examines the jump from childhood to adulthood – or maybe just the space between the two – on his third full-length offering, Milk Teeth [Tooth & Nail]. “I tried to make this album about the fear of adulthood,” he states. “I spent my twenties in a house by the beach in San Diego. All we did was make music and surf all of the time. I arrived at this endless summer, but it was the emptiest place I could imagine. I felt like my life hadn’t started. During the months before this record, I realized I was actually living though. A big part of growing up is the realization you spend your whole childhood dreaming, but when you get ‘there’, it’s nothing like you hoped it would be. It was time to embrace adulthood by embodying it entirely, embracing the miracle of surviving your childhood, even with disappointment that accompanies it.”
