Dead Man's Bones Is Back: Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields Drop "Lost in the Night" After 17 Years

Dead Man’s Bones fans, the wait is officially over. Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields released“Lost in the Night”on Monday, the duo’s first new music in seventeen years. The track pairs Gosling’s deadpan vocals with spidery guitar and a driving 1970s synth-punk beat, building to a chorus of echoey background vocals that sounds like a haunted house throwing a party. The duo wrote the song together and co-produced it with Tim Anderson, recording it in a single day at a farm outside Los Angeles after city studios weren’t clicking.

The black-and-white video is just as striking, starring Hamnet’s Noah Jupe and The Summer I Turned Pretty’s Rain Spencer as they dance out of a cemetery and through the night. Eva Mendes got the hype train rolling on Instagram before the drop, posting,“He came through on this promise to me. 🖤”It’s a playful nod to how long fans have been waiting for this moment.

Seventeen years is a long time between releases, but the duo’s eerie, cinematic sound hasn’t aged a day. If you missed Dead Man’s Bones the first time around, now is the perfect moment to fall down the rabbit hole. Have you listened to“Lost in the Night”yet? Tell us what you think in the comments!
