Dead Man's Bones Release First New Song in 17 Years
Dead Man's Bones, the duo of actor and musician Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields, have released their first new music in 17 years. The song, "Lost in the Night", was unveiled on 27 October 2026, according to Pitchfork.
The band's last release was its self-titled debut album, which came out in 2009. It is also the duo's only album to date. That record featured the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir, a detail that sets the group's sound apart from much of the indie music of its era.
"Lost in the Night" was produced with Tim Anderson, a longtime collaborator of the band. Producers shape a song's sound in the studio, from the arrangement to the final mix. According to the same report, the band recorded the track in a single day at a farm outside Los Angeles.
The song also has a music video. It is shot in black and white and stars Noah Jupe and Rain Spencer. Jupe is an actor who has appeared in films including A Quiet Place, and Spencer is also an actor.
For listeners who have waited since 2009, the release is the first new material from the band in nearly two decades. Gosling has built a career on the screen, and this single is a reminder that the band has continued to exist alongside his film work. The release gives fans a first listen to where the duo has landed, one song at a time.
