Tigermilch - „Gestern fühlte sich auch nicht früher an“ Tour 2025
Second album, fresh live dates: The indie band TIGERMILCH is going on the "Gestern fühlte sich auch nicht früher an" tour in 2025 and is bringing brand new material for the big headliner tour! The four-member group from Cologne has long established itself as the hidden gem of the German-speaking music scene and will be touring across Germany, Austria, and Switzerland starting in spring. Fans can look forward to fresh songs from the upcoming second studio album, which will also be released in 2025:
TIGERMILCH has polished the new music in long rehearsal nights and has high expectations: The band wants to reflect their versatility with the new output and certainly explore new sound paths. But what will definitely remain: The distinctive mix of profound lyrics and catchy melodies, which creates emotional and captivating moments live.
TIGERMILCH's unique sound combines soulful-jazzy indie pop with enchanting melodies, hip-hop-inspired grooves, and a dreamy nonchalance in the multifaceted-smart German lyrics. The four Cologne-based members – Ben (vocals, synthesizer), Tamim (guitar), Eric (bass), and Philipp (drums) – founded TIGERMILCH in 2018 and gained public attention in 2020. Their debut LP "Gelaber" was released in 2022, including the single "Versprechen," which quickly garnered over 2 million Spotify plays, all without a major label, all self-made: self-written, self-produced – even the artworks come from their own team, and it seems that something like collective pop has emerged here. This wouldn't be the only neologism one would have to come up with to describe TIGERMILCH.
In March '24, the critically acclaimed EP "Gib her was dich kaputt macht" dropped, and TIGERMILCH is currently finalizing their second studio album, set for release in '25 – the first single was "Kleine Liebesgeschichte" in August '24, followed by "KIPPEN" in November. Their songs tell stories about life, the small and big emotions that connect us all, and they hit straight to the heart. Mumbled feelings, where words are almost swallowed and then spat out again, casually and ironically, as if they were chewing gum with a little heartache stuck to it by accident.
If TIGERMILCH can do one thing, it's layering soul movements high and then tearing them down again with the next sentence, as if that were the only logical step. As if it were the simplest thing in the world to meet impressive arrangements with understated virtuosity. No doubt, one almost believes that this band can do almost anything if they want to: puzzling together crazy chords so that they suddenly sound like pop music. Or simply taking from all genres what they feel like. From hip-hop, the beats; from jazz, the melodics; from indie, the riffs; and then they play Memory with it until everyone forgets that it hasn’t always belonged together so perfectly.
TIGERMILCH has the gift of condensing disco rhythms into earworms and serving the result so cleverly that one could dance to it all night long, but also contemplate it all afternoon. Their superpower: They make the simple complicated and the complicated simple, in lyrics full of composure and references of their generation, and in smart cross-references, a bit of "Men I Trust," a bit of "Bilderbuch" – but the concept of this band reaches further than any reference could.
After an exclusive set at RBF 2024 and a year-end home game show at Gebäude 9 in Cologne, TIGERMILCH will embark on a substantial D-AT-CH tour in 2025, bringing songs from the new album.
