Californian post-hardcore band Dance Gavin Dance have peeled off their new single “Space Cow Initiation Ritual“, which sports an out of left field pairing with 84-year-old P-funk icon George Clinton . A largely animated official music video has been launched to accompany that collaboration. Speaking on getting the chance to work with Clinton, Dance Gavin Dance guitarist Will Swan offered:
“Getting to work with an icon like George Clinton was surreal. It pushed us to dig deeper into the funk and find a balance between his iconic groove and our own post-hardcore edge. ‘Space Cow Initiation Ritual’ blends those worlds in a way that feels fresh but familiar — I think fans of both camps are gonna vibe with it.”
Rise Records currently have a September 12th release date slated for the band’s 11th studio album “Pantheon“, which this collab will be featured on.
