Description

Afterburner is the ninth full-length studio album by American rock band Dance Gavin Dance. Released on April 24, 2020, on Rise Records, the album serves as a follow-up the group's eighth studio album, Artificial Selection (2018). Recording sessions for the album took place over a three-month period between August and October 2019 with producer Kris Crummett at Interlace Audio in Portland, Oregon, while the vocals were recorded with producer Drew Fulk in Los Angeles, California. The album is considered a musical progression for the band, as the group experimented with funk, Latin, rap, and metalcore which accompany their post-hardcore and experimental rock style. It is the group's final studio album to be released during bass guitarist Tim Feerick's lifetime before his death in April 2022.In support of the album, the band released the lead single, "Prisoner", on February 21, 2020. The second single, "Strawberry's Wake", was released on March 12. Two more singles, "Lyrics Lie" and "Three Wishes", were released in April. The album debuted at number 14 on the US Billboard 200, with 24,000 copies sold in its first week. Originally, the group announced a 2020 spring tour in support of the album to take place in North America and Europe, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They embarked on the Afterburner Tour which took place in September and October 2021 with support from Polyphia, Veil of Maya, Eidola and Wolf & Bear. An instrumental version of the album was released to digital and streaming services on December 25, 2021.
