About Dance Gavin Dance
Formed in Sacramento, California in 2005, Dance Gavin Dance – today comprised of vocalist/guitarist Andrew Wells, his fellow frontman Jon Mess, lead guitarist Will Swan, and drummer Matthew Mingus – are a powerhouse of alternative music; true originals and originators alike, crafting an exhilarating cacophony of sounds and disparate styles that harmonizes everything from funk through metalcore to post-hardcore, pop sensibilities colliding with progressive, kaleidoscopic song structures. With four Billboard 200 Top 15 albums to their name and one of the most deeply fanatical fanbases in modern music fuelling millions of record sales and billions of streams, as the esteemed Rock Sound magazine attests: “There is no band on earth like Dance Gavin Dance.”
Pantheon, Dance Gavin Dance’s 11th full-length record and the follow-up to 2022’s Jackpot Juicer, is an album born first and foremost from reflection – on what Dance Gavin Dance was, is, and, crucially, could still be. It’s an astonishing listen that sees Dance Gavin Dance shift back towards the band’s heavier, more experimental beginnings. Without forgoing any of the accessibility and songcrafting craft of Jackpot Juicer and 2020’s Afterburner before it, Pantheon succeeds in sandblasting away the pop sheen that has glossed the band’s recent output to leave something altogether edgier, coarser, tactile. Lyrically, it channels thoughts and themes that are similarly abrasive. It’s a record that navigates an undercurrent of instability, frustration and exasperation, the jarring, dueling delivery of Wells and his thrillingly erratic, freeform counterpoint Mess the embodiment of Pantheon’s inner conflicts and confusion. It poses an abundance of questions while rationing its answers.
