Averaging a new full-length almost every 18 months since 2007, Dance Gavin Dance are working with their most stable lineup to date – and Eidola’s Andrew Wells makes his presence known on Artificial Selection almost immediately. The band’s 8th full-length album (that’s 4 more than Tool, for those interested in arbitrary numbers), it’s got multiple standout songs including “Evaporate” and “Midnight Crusade”, which seem destined for live staples.
You can stream Artificial Selection in its entirety below. It might just be the band’s most accomplished effort in a while – and that’s saying something considering how musically gifted DGD is, both in the framework of their songwriting and even outside the post-hardcore genre.
