Background
Magnetic Magazine characterized the album's sound as different from the trilogy of Dive, Awake and Epoch in that while "the airy guitars, synths and percussion are still largely there", they have been "adapted for a bit more of an organic, indie rock template", with vocals from Saint Sinner on five of the album's eight tracks.{{cite news|url=https://www.magneticmag.com/2019/05/tycho-details-new-album-weather-single-pink-blue/|title=Tycho Details New Album 'Weather' Tracklist, Release Date With Single 'Pink & Blue'|work=Magnetic Magazine|last=Middleton|first=Ryan|date=May 14, 2019|accessdate=May 15, 2019}} Hansen described the album as a collaboration with Saint Sinner,{{cite web|url=https://www.stereogum.com/2043610/tycho-pink-blue-weather-saint-sinner/video/|title=Tycho – 'Pink & Blue' (Feat.
