March 23, 2015 - Fresh off an epic week at SXSW, Big Data has today released his debut full-length album 2.0, via Warner Bros. Records / Wilcassettes. The album features collaborations with the likes of Joywave (on smash  hit "Dangerous"), Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, Twin Shadow, Jamie Lidell, and Kimbra, and is described by Wired as the "extremely catchy debut album, [where Big Data] goes all-in with songs inspired by Edward Snowden, the Internet of Things, and even Facebook's mood experiments."

"With each song on 2.0, I set out to explore a specific issue or moment in technology, and lyrically they are often voiced from the perspective of the 'bad guy' in the narrative," Big Data's Alan Wilkis told Wired. "I had the immense privilege of collaborating with a host of incredible vocalists on 2.0, and at the end of the day I just hope these songs make you smile, dance, and think a bit."

Big Data just wrapped a packed week down in Austin for SXSW. Wilkis and the band played 9 shows across the festival, from KCRW's showcase alongside Odesza, Børns, and Delta Spirit, to Rachael Ray's Feedback, Pandora's Discovery Den, and a gig at the Spotify House that had Billboard saying, "Big Data has taken off, with a mid-day set at the Spotify House proving that his catchy blend of funk, indie pop and technology paranoia has quickly found an audience."

Big Data has received love across the board for his uniquely paranoid electronic music, from Rolling Stone and The Wall Street Journal to Entertainment Weekly and USA Today. Wilkis launches his first national headline tour tomorrow night at the Bowery Ballroom, with dates across the US for the rest of March and April, along with festival stops at Firefly, Sweetwater 420 Fest, Big Guava Festival, and Untapped Fest.
