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 with them for the major headliner tour! The four-member group from Cologne, which has long established itself as a secret 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 during long rehearsal nights and has high expectations: The band wants to reflect their versatility with the new output and definitely explore new sound avenues. But one thing will definitely remain: The distinctive mixture 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 multi-meaningful, smart German lyrics. The four Cologne members – Ben (vocals, synthesizer), Tamim (guitar), Eric (bass), and Philipp (drums) - founded TIGERMILCH in 2018 and gained initial public attention in 2020. In 2022, the debut album “Gelaber” was released, 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. It wouldn't be the only neologism one has to come up with to make TIGERMILCH describable.
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 big emotions that connect everyone and hit right in the heart. Mumbled feelings, where words are almost swallowed and then still spat out, casually and ironically, as if they were chewing gum that accidentally still has a bit of heartache stuck to it.
If TIGERMILCH can do one thing, it’s layering soul movements sky-high and 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. There’s no doubt, one almost believes that this band can do nearly anything if they just want to: Puzzling together crazy chords so that they suddenly sound like pop music. Or also: simply taking what they fancy from all genres. From hip-hop, the beats; from jazz, the melodies; from indie, the riffs; and they play memory with it until everyone has forgotten that it never always belonged together so perfectly.
TIGERMILCH has the ability to concentrate disco rhythms into earworms and present the results so cleverly that one can dance to them all night long, but also discuss them for an entire afternoon. Their superpower: They make the simple complicated and the complicated simple, in lyrics full of composure and the apropos of their generation and in clever cross-references, a bit “Men I Trust,” a bit “Bilderbuch” - but the design 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 head out on a substantial D-AT-CH tour in 2025, with songs from the new album in tow.
