Dance Gavin Dance are keeping the Tree City Sessions series moving, and the latest preview is a sharp one.
The Sacramento post-hardcore outfit have shared an updated version of “The Robot With Human Hair, Pt. 3,” originally from their 2008 self-titled album, as the second taste of the upcoming ‘Tree City Sessions 3.’ Vocalist Andrew Wells is direct about what the track means to him. “Growing up I was a huge fan of the Deathstar album, so being able to emulate Kurt and bring my own passion to this version of Robot 3 was truly an honor,” he says. The Tree City Sessions series has consistently given each lineup configuration a chance to reimagine the band’s deep catalog, and this installment is no different.
‘Tree City Sessions 3’ arrives May 22 via Rise Records digitally and through the label’s webstore, with full physical retail following June 19. A limited edition tour variant will be available at shows on the band’s upcoming North American tour from May 22 while stock lasts.
