It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost twenty years since the inception of Dance Gavin Dance. Through the highs and lows, this band has consistently remained at the upper echelon of names in the alternative music scene. After years and years of success, Dance Gavin Dance has just announced the release of their eleventh full length studio album titled ‘Pantheon’. The release is slated for September 12 via Rise Records, and will be their first full length release since ‘Jackpot Juicer' which was released in the summer of 2022.
Paired with the announcement of their new album also came with the release of a single titled Midnight At McGuffy’s which also came along with a music video. The video features a man going through motions of flashbacks in a desert mixed with live shot performances of the band which leaves the listener questioning what is real and what is fantasy in the narrative. If this single is a good representation of the sound of the album as a whole, then fans will be pleased to realize it is carrying the signature Dance Gavin Dance style forward. Catchy leads, paired with down tuning rhythms, contrasting with interesting and standout lyrics provided by Jon Mess and Andrew Wells. What more can a Dance Gavin Dance fan ask for?
Fans have a lot to look forward to with the band this summer, as they’ll be hitting the road headlining the ‘Return Of The Robot Tour’ in preparation of the release. Many of the days are already sold out including night two in Philadelphia, St. Petersburg, Charlotte, Phoenix, and Riverside, with many more expecting to sell out soon. They’ll be hitting the road in a matter of days beginning on May 22 in Philadelphia and concluding on June 29 in San Diego.
