Unimagined Bridges is the fourth studio album by rock band Driver Friendly, released by Hopeless on July 15, 2014. The album was produced by Matt Malpass at Marigolds + Monsters Studio in Atlanta, Georgia with additional recording taking place at Rattle Rock Studios in Canyon Lake, Texas. "Stand So Tall" and "Everything Gold" was released as singles before the album was released; the former featuring Dan "Soupy" Campbell on guest vocals. To support the album, the band toured with Quiet Company, Stickup Kid, Transit, Motion City Soundtrack and Cartel, among others.

The album charted in the U.S. at number 33 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.

After releasing Chase the White Whale in 2008, Driver Friendly stopped making music; vocalist/keyboardist Tyler Welsh stated "it wasn't official, but we were essentially not a band". In 2011, the group realized that change was needed, they went to a cabin in North Carolina to write what would become Bury a Dream. To cover the costs of recording it, the band set up a Kickstarter campaign. It was produced by the band's longtime producer, Jim Vollentine. Eventually, the band self-released Bury a Dream in April 2012. In October, it was announced Driver Friendly had signed to Hopeless. The band released the EP, Peaks + Valleys in June 2013 and went on the 2013 edition of Warped Tour in July. Following this, in November, the band acted as a support act for a Relient K and Motion City Soundtrack co-headlining tour in the U.S. The band went on a brief tour of Texas with Wild Party in January and February 2014.

The writing and recording process for Unimagined Bridges lasted over a year and a half. The band had written over 35 songs.Unimagined Bridges was recorded at Marigolds + Monsters Studio, in Atlanta, Georgia with producer Matt Malpass. On February 18, it was announced that the band had finished recording. Malpass mixed the album, with help from assistant engineer Justin Holtsclaw. Ethan Kaufmann provided additional vocal production. The album was mastered by Michael Fossenkemper. Additional recording was done by trumpet player Juan Lopez at Rattle Rock Studios, located in Canyon Lake, Texas.
