Pantheon (Dance Gavin Dance album)
Pantheon is the eleventh studio album by Dance Gavin Dance, released on September 12, 2025, through Rise Records. It was produced by Kris Crummett and Stephan Hawkes and serves as the follow-up to Jackpot Juicer (2022). This album marks the first time Andrew Wells is credited as a co-lead vocalist, alongside his longtime role as guitarist.
Pantheon is also the first Dance Gavin Dance record recorded after bass guitarist Tim Feerick’s death in April 2022 and after vocalist Tilian Pearson left the band in April 2024. The album features a guest appearance by funk legend George Clinton and additional guitar work from Martin Bianchini, Marc Okubo, and Sergio Medina.
To promote Pantheon, the band launched the Return Of The Robot Tour in North America from May to June 2025, with Belmont, The Home Team, and Dwellings supporting. Four singles preceded the album: “Midnight At McGuffy’s” (May 8, 2025), “All The Way Down” (May 22, 2025), “Trap Door” (July 9, 2025), and “Space Cow Initiation Ritual” (August 13, 2025). A later release, “The Stickler,” came out on the album’s release date.
Pantheon debuted at number 145 on the US Billboard 200, marking the first Dance Gavin Dance album since 2013’s Acceptance Speech not to reach the top-forty on the chart.
Track credits note that all songs were written by William Swan, Matthew Mingus, Jonathan Mess, Andrew Wells, and Sergio Medina, with “The Conqueror Worm” co-written by Swan, Mingus, Mess, and Wells.
The album’s cover art was created by Swedish artist Mattias Adolfsson, who has designed the band’s covers since 2007.
