Before we measured, sources said: Drop D, with no pitch given (community).
The debut is a Drop D record: every tab except Rosegrove lowers the 6th string to D, and TuneLit's semitone check from the audio hears D as the lowest open string on all nine of those songs. Rosegrove stays in E Standard, and the check agrees. The CD sits about 9 ¢ sharp (A ≈ 442), little enough that a concert-pitch tuner still sounds close, but every Tune button includes it.

Notes
How to get there from the album's Drop D: String 6 up a whole step (D → E); the other strings stay.
The one song on the debut to keep the low E. Bring the 6th string back up from D before you play it.
The one Songsterr tab puts the song in E Standard, the only song of the album with the low string left on E. TuneLit's semitone check from the audio agrees: E is the song's lowest open string. Measured with the album at about +9 ¢.
