About Imagine Dragons
Imagine Dragons developed through early EPs and live performances before releasing Night Visions in 2012. Dan Reynolds' lead vocals became a central part of a sound combining rock arrangements with electronic and pop elements. Smoke + Mirrors followed in 2015, then Evolve in 2017 and Origins in 2018. The Mercury project arrived in two parts across 2021 and 2022. These releases show the band's movement between forceful rhythmic singles, larger melodic choruses and quieter album performances, with LOOM adding another studio chapter in 2024.
