Dance Gavin Dance – is thrilled to share their brand new single “Space Cow Initiation Ritual” a collaboration with George Clinton

Rock band Dance Gavin Dance is thrilled to share their brand new single “Space Cow Initiation Ritual”, featuring legendary master of Pfunk, George Clinton. The song is out now. Taken from the group’s forthcoming album Pantheon, the track stands out for its chaotic blend of absurdism and infectious groove – further elevated by the iconic cameo from the funk pioneer.

On “Space Cow Initiation Ritual”, guitarist Will Swan shares: “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 Initiative’ blends those worlds in a way that feels fresh but familiar — I think fans of both camps are gonna vibe with it.
