Dead Man's Bones Return With New Single 'Lost in the Night'

The synth- and drum-machine–driven track signals a deliberate new sonic direction for the duo.

Overview

  • The single, released Tuesday, Oct. 27, is Dead Man’s Bones’ first new music in 17 years.
  • A black-and-white music video released the same day stars Rain Spencer and Noah Jupe and matches the song’s nocturnal mood.
  • The track was produced with Tim Anderson and, after failed studio attempts, was recorded in one day on a farm outside Los Angeles using minimal gear.
  • The band is selling a limited 12-inch vinyl of the single through its website while no official plans have been announced for an album or tour.
  • Dead Man’s Bones’ 2009 debut used a children’s choir and built a spooky, Halloween-linked reputation, and this release updates that legacy with electronic, post-punk and new-wave influences.
