Factory Reset [LP] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and producer Tilian, the solo project from Dance Gavin Dance frontman Tilian Pearson, releases his fourth full-length album, Factory Reset via Rise Records. Factory Reset is both highly personal and wholly universal. Tilian began writing the album just a few weeks after the pandemic forced California into lockdown. "I was searching for meaning in isolation and found it in creating this album," Tilian shares. He decided to write, record, and produce the album himself, eventually remotely bringing in drummer/frequent collaborator Kris Crummett to help button it up. Having full creative control allowed Tilian to experiment more than ever, and truly be himself in the process. "[I wanted] to make the album that I want to hear. 'What would be my favorite band?' as opposed to, 'What is everyone's favorite band?'" he adds. This resulted in his most thrillingly eclectic work to date: a falsetto-laced brand of alt-pop that spans everything from trippy psychedelia and heavy prog riffs to warped hip-hop beats and dembow grooves.
