On Instagram, the rest of the band’s members — John Mess, Matt Mingus, Will Swan and Andrew Wells — revealed the reasons for the lineup change. They mention that the band “has always attempted to reconcile situations internally,” but made the decision “to say farewell to our long time member and friend, Tilian” following “much consideration.”
The group thanks Pearson for his musical contributions and camaraderie, wishing him well “in music and life.”
“As people grow and change, creative differences can arise and life paths and goals may no longer align,” Dance Gavin Dance continue, noting their excitement for the “new era for the band” that lies ahead.
