Ryan Gosling’s band Dead Man’s Bones just released a new song, and no, you didn’t miss a headline.“Lost in the Night”is the duo’s first new track since 2009, a 17-year gap that ends with a gothic, synth-heavy single perfectly timed for Halloween. The band, Gosling’s project with Zach Shields, recorded the song in just one day at a farm outside Los Angeles, and it blends the spooky atmosphere of their debut with a Springsteen-style vocal from Gosling.
The music video stars Rain Spencer and Noah Jupe and takes a surprisingly sweet, romantic turn that contrasts with the song’s mysterious mood. Add in the fact that Eva Mendes teased the comeback on Instagram earlier this month, and the whole rollout has felt like a gift to longtime fans who never stopped hoping.
Whether this is a one-off or the start of something bigger is still up in the air, but for now, there’s a fresh Dead Man’s Bones song to add to your seasonal rotation. What’s the first song you’re adding to your Halloween playlist this year?
