Artificial Selection

Dance Gavin Dance

A maximalist collision of soulful R&B hooks and technical math rock. Dense, chaotic, and polished to a mirror shine with dual-vocal gymnastics.

It's like a math equation that somehow learned how to sing R&B and then had a mental breakdown.

A high-wire act of technical anxiety and infectious, soulful euphoria.

Evaporate

Moments Worth Waiting For
The nostalgic guest appearance by Kurt Travis on Shelf Life bringing a decade of band history full circle.
The final two minutes of Evaporate where the band medleys iconic riffs and lyrics from their entire discography.
The sudden transition from the smooth r&b groove of Count Bassy into a punishingly heavy breakdown.
