2x GRAMMY® Award-nominated electronic artist Tycho + Benjamin Gibbard of 8x GRAMMY® Award-nominated Atlantic Records recording group Death Cab for Cutie have united with boundary-breaking electronic music star LP Giobbi for a remarkable new reimagining of their recently released collaborative single, “Only Love.” The exclusive remix – which showcases LP Giobbi’s piano loops and high-energy beats – is available now via Mom + Pop Music/Ninja Tune; an official visualizer – designed by Tycho mastermind Scott Hansen – is streaming now at YouTube.

“Tycho is such an inspiring mix of real instruments and electronic music, so it was a true honor to get to work on one of his tracks,” says LP Giobbi. “I took it as an opportunity to create a musical, emotional journey that hopefully takes the listener through soundscapes of uplifting joy which is what I feel after listening to a Tycho track.”
“Only Love” stands as a powerful anthem from Tycho + Benjamin Gibbard, meticulously fusing Tycho’s transcendent production and signature arrangements with Gibbard’s cathartic, deeply humanist lyricism. The first new electronic collaboration for Gibbard since his RIAA platinum-certified work in The Postal Service more than a decade ago, the track was met by international attention upon its world premiere this summer, including Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NME, NPR’s All Songs Considered, and SPIN, which declared, “Combining Tycho’s production style and Gibbard’s lyricism is a solid match and worth the wait.”
PRAISE FOR TYCHO + BENJAMIN GIBBARD “ONLY LOVE”:
“‘Only Love’ proves Ben Gibbard should’ve returned to electronic music a long time ago…‘Only Love” sounds close to what we’d imagine
a Postal Service song would sound like in 2021, but poppier.”
– AV CLUB
“A lush, synthy new single…Gibbard’s distinct vocals are as refreshing as ever, and the lyrics are familiarly high-stakes in the context of romance.”
– STEREOGUM
“‘As warm and inviting as a summer morning…With bright drums, a background pulse of bass, and an occasional breeze from gentle guitars, the song evokes Earth’s natural wonders as Gibbard sings, ‘Only love will save this place.’”
– CONSEQUENCE
“The results speak for themselves – two artists working in sync, Tycho’s impressionistic synths align perfectly with Benjamin Gibbard’s endlessly evocative vocals.”
– CLASH
“A tender and uplifting indietronica jam…
The two prove to be a match made in heaven, with Tycho’s radiant production serving
as the perfect vessel for Gibbard’s distinctive voice.”
“This is the collaboration we did not know we needed…
This is definitely one that we’ll be playing over and over again.”
– THIS SONG IS SICK
“Melding together Tycho’s production expertise and Gibbard’s signature vocals,
the peaceful instrumentals carry forth a comforting tune
that contrasts with Gibbard’s environmental message.”
– DANCING ASTRONAUT
