Dance Gavin Dance (also referred to as "Death Star" due to the album cover) is the second studio album by American post-hardcore band Dance Gavin Dance. Self-described as "self-titled",[3] it was released by Rise Records on August 19, 2008. The album sold 3,800 copies in its first week,[4] after the band had distributed several songs over the MySpace social network: "Alex English", "Me and Zoloft Get Along Fine", "The Robot with Human Hair, Pt. 3" and "Caviar".

Dance Gavin Dance is the first album to not include vocalist Jonny Craig and guitarist Sean O'Sullivan. The album was SmartPunk.com's "Smartpick of the Month", and the website offered a stream of the entire album from August 17 through 20.[5][6][7] A music video has been released for the song "Me and Zoloft Get Along Just Fine." The album peaked at number 172 on the Billboard 200 and 26 on the Top Independent Albums chart.[8]
