About Dead Man's Bones' Lost In The Night
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.
