Dead Man’s Bones, the musical partnership of Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields. return with the track “Lost In The Night,” which is their first new music since the release of their critically praised self-titled first album in 2009 on ANTI- Records. As a whole, the ditty mixes the raw, drum-machine-driven sound of the band Suicide with Bruce Springsteen’s anthemic sweep, new wave synths and post-punk guitars.
After trying several Los Angeles studios without finding the sound they wanted, the duo took two guitars, two drum machines, and two synthesizers to a farm outside the city and recorded the song in a day. The result is a shadowy but undeniably hopeful homemade anthem that hints at an exciting new direction for the duo. As for the music video, it follows the pair as they leave the cemetery behind and venture into the lamplit streets of the city
What begins in the world of the dead becomes a romantic adventure through the world of the living, capturing the thrill of being young, in love, and embracing the mystery of the night. Dead Man’s Bones carved out a singular place in indie music with their haunting, imaginative blend of gothic folk, vintage rock and roll, doo-wop, and theatrical storytelling.<
Recorded with the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir, their self-titled 2009 debut created a sound that was at once eerie, playful, nostalgic, and deeply heartfelt, evoking the atmosphere of old horror films, forgotten Halloween records, and ghostly American folklore.
