Perfect Enemy is the second studio album by American recording artist and musician Tilian, released on November 27, 2015 through Vital Records.[2] The album was produced by Kris Crummett and Matt Malpass.[3] It was led by the single "Tug of War" released on October 14, 2015.[4]

Background

Perfect Enemy was "sporadically written over the last three years" and recorded throughout September 2015.[1] In an interview with Teal Cheese, Pearson revealed that he recorded six songs with producer Kris Crummett in Portland, Oregon, tracked one song in Malibu, California, and worked with producer Matt Malpass in Atlanta, Georgia. The tracks on the album were mixed and mastered throughout various studios in Los Angeles.[1] When asked how Pearson wanted the album's sound to be, he answered:

I wanted this album to sound more organic, so we used a lot more real instruments as opposed to synths and samples. There's a rock song, a couple uptempo folk and pop songs and a good amount of songs with more space.

The album is composed of twelve tracks. Three of the tracks ("Heartfelt", "Alive", and "Future Friends") were previously released on Pearson's EP, Future Friends, released in December 2014.[5]

Prior to the album's announcement, Tilian released his single "Tug of War" on October 14, 2015 accompanied with its music video.[6] He later released a lyric video for the single on October 16. Later that month on October 29, 2015, he announced that he would release Perfect Enemy on November 27, 2015 through is official Facebook.[7] In support of the album, he released "All I Ever Do" on November 2, 2015.[8] "Dreaming" was released on November 11, 2015.[9] The music video for the song "Satellite" premiered on Tilian's official YouTube on November 17, 2015.[10]
