Tilian has also announced his third full-length studio album, The Skeptic, is due out on Friday, 28th September via Rise Records. The record is rounded out at 10 tracks and complete with a solid mix of pop-punk and indie-pop offerings. Available for pre-order here.
‘Musically and in my personal life, I kept thinking, ‘I’ve got to find and explore some new ground,’ ‘ says Tilian. ‘I’ve always been so much more questioning than most people around me are. I never really bought into things the way 90% of the crowd does. That sentiment communicated the idea of The Skeptic to me,’ he adds.
After touring non-stop with DGD, Tilian will head back out on the road next week, kicking off his North American headline dates at San Francisco’s Brick & Mortar on Thursday, August 23rd. The stint hits stops in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Nashville, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and Toronto, before wrapping in Denver on Sunday, September 23rd. Former DGD vocalist, Kurt Travis, will provide direct support with his new band, Royal Coda, along with Sunsleep.
