MICHIGANDER Debut Album Out Today
By Markus Hamence
“Throughout 12 tracks, Singer evokes everyone from Manchester Orchestra to Bruce Springsteen, which is shorthand for sweeping choruses, sticky hooks, and reflective lyricism. After spending years cranking out singles and EPs, it’s fulfilling to hear the Kalamazoo native posit his most fully realized vision yet.”
– Uproxx
Michigander – the acclaimed indie rock project led by singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jason Singer – has released their highly anticipated eponymous debut album today via Totally Normal Records/Thirty Tigers. Hailed by NPR as “one of indie rock’s most exciting stories in the last few years,” the album features the aspirational single, “Peace of Mind,” co-written with renowned producer/musician Butch Walker (Green Day, Weezer, Fall Out Boy), “Emotional” and the top 5 AAA summer favorite, “Giving Up,” which was released alongside an official music video, directed by longtime visual collaborator Tyler Appel (Andrew McMahon, Manchester Orchestra) and featured on beloved TV shows Shrinking and Grey’s Anatomy. Michigander is now available digitally and on limited-edition vinyl exclusively at shop.michiganderband.com.
Michigander have been touring continuously since early 2024 and won’t be stopping anytime soon. Tonight, the band plays a hometown record release show at Nashville, TN’s Basement East. In April, Jason will hit the road with Dawes to support their Oh Brother Tour with a special duo set. More tour dates will be announced soon.

The last decade has seen Michigander quietly emerge as a 21st-century troubadour whose deft balance of rock energy, alternative adventurousness, and heart-on-his-sleeve songcraft has endeared him to audiences and critics alike. Born in Michigan and based in Nashville, singer, songwriter, and producer Jason Singer has steadily tallied over 100M worldwide streams across a series of EPs, including 2018’s Midland, 2019’s Where Do We Go From Here, and 2021’s Everything Will Be OK Eventually, highlighted by such breakthrough tracks as “Misery” (17.5M streams) and “Let Me Down” (10.7M streams). 2023 saw Michigander’s It Will Never Be The Same EP arrive to high profile praise from such outlets as NPR, which declared, “It’s impossible not to root for Singer, whose mix of optimism and vulnerability in his music has been one of indie rock’s most exciting stories in the last few years.” Michigander further won over fans with live performances alongside Silversun Pickups and Pete Yorn as well as at such festivals as Lollapalooza. Now, with the long-awaited release of his self-titled debut album, Michigander embraces even greater sonic confidence on a collection sure to resonate for a long time to come.
