Dead Man’s Bones—the musical partnership of Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields—return with the track “Lost In The Night,” their first new music since the release of their critically praised self-titled first album in 2009 on ANTI- Records.
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.
Dead Man’s Bones, the musical collaboration between Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields (Writer/Producer: Gladys *upcoming Weapons prequel*, Godzilla: King of Monsters/vs Kong, Wrote/Directed the play Dad’s Leg), 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.
