Silverstein Taps in Cassadee Pope on New Single "Autopilot"

Silverstein is turning back the clocks today with their nostalgic new single “Autopilot”, featuring special guest Cassadee Pope. The song - which arrives on the 20th anniversary of their hit album “Discovering the Waterfront” and just after “Smile in Your Sleep” was certified Gold - embodies a classic emo sound, one that evokes the thrill of being in a Warped Tour parking lot.

“‘Autopilot’ feels modern and vintage at the same time” shares frontman Shane Told “Musically I think it could fit on ‘Discovering The Waterfront’ but the vocals push it forward into new territory. Cassadee was the perfect voice alongside mine for it, with her understanding of the scene and where it came from but being so versatile and outside the box in so many genres. She absolutely crushed this guest vocal”.

Adds Cassadee Pope: “Silverstein was such a big part of my formative years so to be on a song with them is surreal. I’m a sucker for a huge catchy chorus coupled with angsty lyrics so as soon as I heard the song I knew I needed to sing on it!”.

“Autopilot” marks the third single from Silverstein’s forthcoming album Pink Moon, the second chapter in their ambitious 16-song double album. Conceived and recorded during a transformative stretch in the high desert of Joshua Tree, the album is set to be released on September 12 via UNFD.

Born from the same sessions as Antibloom, the songs on Pink Moon were sequenced with intention, offering a distinct yet complementary listening experience. Known for their meticulous attention to flow and emotional pacing, the band crafted both halves to stand on their own while also telling a broader, interconnected story - one that ebbs and crashes like the desert winds that shaped it.

Pink Moon features the only guest appearances on the project, with stunning contributions from Rory Rodriguez of Dayseeker and Pope - voices chosen mid-process when the band sensed the need to push certain songs into new sonic territory. The result is a bold and diverse body of work that expands Silverstein’s dynamic range while staying true to their emotional core. By releasing the project in two halves, the band has given every song the room to breathe, resonate, and evolve. The moon has risen. The story continues.
