Dead Man's Bones Returns With New Music Set for Oct. 27

The band’s Instagram teaser signals a formal, label-backed Halloween release that revives Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields’s long-dormant spooky project.

Overview

  • The duo posted a short, gothic teaser to the Dead Man’s Bones Instagram that announced new music will arrive on Oct. 27 and completed a week of fan-driven hints.
  • The clip features a haunting spoken poem followed by a young girl calling out the date, a staging that frames the release for the Halloween season.
  • Eva Mendes first teased the comeback on her Instagram and then reshared the official video, writing that Gosling had kept his promise.
  • The label ANTI- reposted the teaser, which outlets report signals formal label involvement in distributing the new material.
  • Dead Man’s Bones last released music in 2009 with a cult-favorite self-titled album backed by the Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir, and the Oct. 27 release could broaden attention thanks to Gosling’s recent mainstream musical moments.
