Dance Gavin Dance, Don Bronco, Hail The Sun, Thousand Below
Say what you will about Dance Gavin Dance's more recent outings—"they're awful," for instance—but the band's 2007 debut, Downtown Battle Mountain, is still one of the more interesting documents of mid- to late-'00s mall emo miscellanea. It's one of those rare records with a virtuosic saunter that still manages a semblance of human feeling. Remember that stuff?
