The tour is in support of Enigk's highly-praised new solo album, "World Waits," which was released October 17 on his own label, Lewis Hollow Records/Reincarnate/SONY BMG. Of the album, Filter wrote, "'World Waits' plays like a greatest hits of Enigk's styles...confidence, grace, and that darn purty voice that makes this an instant classic." Entertainment Weekly described the album as ".thoughtful, impassioned, and refreshingly unshowy," while Lollipop called it "...near-perfect...'World Waits' further cements [Enigk's] reign as an absolute deity in the realm of songwriting."
