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 has brand new material for the big headliner tour! The four-member group from Cologne, which has long established itself as the insider tip of the hour in the German-speaking music scene, will tour 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 to perfection during long rehearsal nights and is raising their expectations high: The band aims to reflect their versatility with the new output and definitely explore new sound paths. But one thing remains certain: The distinctive mix of profound lyrics and catchy melodies that create emotional and captivating moments live.
TIGERMILCH's unique sound unites soulful-jazzy indie-pop with enchanting melodies, hip-hop inspired grooves, and a dreamy nonchalance in the multifaceted smart German lyrics. The four Cologne natives – Ben (vocals, synthesizer), Tamim (guitar), Eric (bass), and Philipp (drums) - founded TIGERMILCH in 2018 and gained initial public attention in 2020. In 2022, their debut LP “Gelaber” was released, including the single “Versprechen,” which quickly amassed 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, making it seem as if a kind of collective-pop has emerged here. It wouldn’t be the only neologism one has to come up with to describe TIGERMILCH.
In March '24, the critically acclaimed EP “Gib her was dich kaputt macht” was dropped, and currently, TIGERMILCH is finalizing their second studio album, which will be released 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 large emotions that connect everyone, hitting straight to the heart. Mumbled feelings, where words are almost swallowed and then spat out again, casual and ironic, as if they were chewing gums that accidentally still have a bit of heartache stuck to them.
If TIGERMILCH can do one thing, it's building up emotional upheavals to great heights 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 let impressive arrangements meet understated virtuosity. No doubt, one almost believes that this band can do almost anything if they just want to: Puzzling together crazy chords so that they suddenly sound like pop music. Or simply taking whatever they feel like from all genres. The beats from hip-hop, the melodies from jazz, the riffs from indie, and then they play memory until everyone forgets that it didn’t always belong together so perfectly.
TIGERMILCH has the gift of condensing disco rhythms into earworms and serving the result so smartly that you can dance to it all night long but also discuss it for an entire afternoon. Their superpower: They make the simple complicated and the complicated simple, in lyrics full of detachment and the related remarks of their generation, with clever 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, carrying songs from the new album.
