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.

June 8, 2018 · Rise Records (3)

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

Moments Worth Listening 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.

Where This Album Departs

How does Artificial Selection sound next to the rest of Dance Gavin Dance's catalogue?

High Energy-1.0σ

It runs notably cooler and more held-back than this artist's baseline.
