" Smoke + Mirrors was a very introspective time for the band, where we were questioning spirituality and its meaning in our lives," says Reynolds. After much soul-searching during a year-long break from touring, the band arrived at a new mindset and ultimately brought a greater sense of openness to their music. "There's definitely some moments of sadness on this album, but there's also moments of real celebration."ĭespite the minimalistic approach of Evolve, Imagine Dragons achieve a rich complexity partly informed by their taking time out to recharge. "The last year's been the healthiest year of my life, and I think that's very much reflected in the music," says lead vocalist Dan Reynolds, whose bandmates include guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman.

Since making their full-length debut with 2012's multi-platinum Night Visions, Imagine Dragons have drawn worldwide adoration for their anthemic yet moody alt-rock.
