DEAD MAN’S BONES RETURN WITH NEW TRACK
‘LOST IN THE NIGHT’

THEIR FIRST NEW MUSIC SINCE 2009

Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields reunite for a new song and video featuring Rain Spencer and Noah Jupe

WATCH / LISTEN

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. Listen HERE. 

Produced with longtime collaborator Tim Anderson, the song is accompanied by a music video starring Noah Jupe and Rain Spencer. The video follows the pair as they leave the cemetery behind and venture into the lamplit streets of the city. What begins in the world of the dead becomes a romantic adventure through the world of the living, capturing the thrill of being young, in love, and embracing the mystery of the night.

“Lost In The Night” mixes the raw, drum-machine-driven sound of the band Suicide with Bruce Springsteen’s anthemic sweep, new wave synths, and post-punk guitars.

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.

The album earned critical acclaim from influential music publications including Pitchfork and The FADER, who recognized the originality and sincerity of the band’s vision. It also ranked No. 43 on MOJO’s Top 50 Albums of 2009 and was included in AllMusic’s Favorite Rock Albums of 2009. More than fifteen years after its release, the music continues to find new audiences through its use in film and television, its enduring online presence, and a devoted following that has grown well beyond the album’s initial release. With a sound that remains difficult to categorize or replicate, Dead Man’s Bones has established a cult status and lasting cultural legacy through a single, remarkably distinctive record.

Sunroof [Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones] have shared ‘Ensnare (Q Mix)’ from a new QUAD mix of their third collaboration, out Nov 27 2026

SUNROOF [DANIEL MILLER & GARETH JONES] QUADROPHONIC MIX OF THEIR THIRD COLLABORATION   ELECTRONIC MUSIC IMPROVISATIONS VOL. 3 (Q MIX) OUT 27 NOV ON THE PARALLEL SERIES OF MUTE   LISTEN TO ‘ENSNARE (Q MIX)’ HERE   360° SPATIAL AUDIO PLAYBACK AND Q&A WITH SUNROOF AT ALL IS JOY, LONDON – 22 NOV

[Sunroof - Gareth Jones & Daniel Miller - credit Paul Heartfield] Sunroof [Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones] have shared ‘Ensnare (Q Mix)’ one of the stand out tracks from their new mix of Electronic Music Improvisations Vol. 3, released digitally via the Parallel Series of Mute on 27 November 2026. Listen to ‘Ensnare (Q Mix)’

Electronic Music Improvisations Vol. 3 is a collection of nine improvised tracks, recorded using the duo’s Eurorack modular systems, and builds upon the self-imposed parameters laid out on their 2021 debut. With nothing pre-planned or rehearsed, each of the nine tracks were recorded using four channels (two each) with no overdubs. Explaining that “Our practice is more abstract than thematic. Every time we meet, we attempt a fresh start”, Miller and Jones arrived to each recording session with the spirit, energy and discipline of improvisation and recorded the tracks as live performances, with very little post-production work done once the tracks are recorded.   Sunroof often write and perform in QUAD, and this Q mix release continues their immersive audio journey. Gareth Jones explains more about the Q Mix: “Every speaker is equally important, there is no front or back. The music is democratically distributed across the four corners of the room. This creates a sound field that feels compelling and deeply immersive, no matter where we stand or sit inside the square.”   Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones have been collaborating for four decades. Although neither dwell on their past work, preferring to constantly explore new ways to create, Miller and Mute’s legacy is given a nod on ‘Splendid’ which opens with the distinct hiss of analogue tape over a rhythmic heart beat before oscillators burst and collide. This track was recorded using the original 4-track TEAC that Miller picked up second hand in the late 70s and used to record The Normal’s Warm Leatherette 7”.   Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones’ collaboration began in 1982 when Miller asked Jones to work with him on what became Depeche Mode’s Construction Time Again. After Depeche Mode had gone home for the day, the two would stay on to work on their own sessions, a practise that continues to this day. By the mid-nineties Sunroof had become a remix project, reworking the likes of Can, MGMT, To Rococo Rot, Kreidler and Goldfrapp, amongst others. In 2019, Miller and Jones were heading to a György Ligeti concert at the Barbican and beforehand the pair spent a couple of hours improvising with modular systems. Unusually, this time they decided to record the session and over a pre-concert meal, Gareth asked, “Are we actually going to make a record together before we die?”   The resulting album, Electronic Music Improvisations Vol. 1 (2021) was followed by Electronic Music Improvisations Vol. 2 (2023), and since 2021, Sunroof have been performing select live shows – at venues such as Café OTO (London), the London School of Economics, the Museum of Modern Electronic Music Frankfurt, Silent Green in Berlin, Ombra Festival (Barcelona), Oslo Cathedral, Golden Pudel (Hamburg), DG Kunstraum (Munich), and IKLECTIK (London) – allowing their live performance to feed back into their recordings. Some of these recordings were released last year as a Bandcamp exclusive, Electronic Music Improvisations Live in London and Frankfurt.   Listen to two separate remixes by Daniel Miller and Gareth Jones of ‘Ensnare’, allowing listeners a glimpse into their very different but intrinsically intertwined processes.  Polygon Portal will host an exclusive 360’ Spatial Audio playback of the album, alongside a Q&A with Daniel and Gareth at All is Joy Soho, London, on 22 November at 2pm. Tickets are available HERE.

KATHLEEN FRANCES - Shares new single "Kitchen Sink" out now via state51

Photo credit: Dan Bird Today, Bristol-based producer and artist Kathleen Frances shares new single "Kitchen Sink", which is out today via state51.  On the track Kathleen Frances said "This song is an exploration of the rhythm of moving apart and coming together that happens in a romantic relationship. The chorus captures a playful moment where the other person makes you laugh and you almost forget why you were annoyed with them in the first place. You may not always be getting it right but you’re trying to learn from past selves and past generations. I connect deeply with this song, it captures my own life; when love, familiarity and shared humour floods back in a wave of joy. I love the metaphor of a 'kitchen sink drama' that runs through this song, it references; previous generations, things we’ve grown up watching and learning that don’t necessarily serve us, and it sets it squarely in the intimacy of a home." "Kitchen Sink" on YouTube: https://youtu.be/HKrD7l0geOA "Kitchen Sink" on other streaming services: https://state51distribution.lnk.to/kf-kitchen-sink  Kathleen Frances has a strong interest in the relationship between sound, texture and performance. After studying music at degree level, she began exploring production more deeply, taking a hands-on approach to shaping her own recordings. With a particular focus on vocal production, she experiments with recording techniques and setups to capture the nuances of a performance, creating intimate, textural records that balance instinct with experimentation.

John Lydon Announces New Photographic Memoir 'ARCHIVE' To Mark 50th Anniversary Of The Sex Pistols

JOHN LYDON ANNOUNCES METICULOUS NEW PHOTOGRAPHIC MEMOIR 'ARCHIVE'
TO MARK THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SEX PISTOLS
AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER

PUBLIC IMAGE LTD ‘THIS IS NOT THE LAST TOUR’ CONTINUES IN THE US
BEGINNING FEBRUARY 12TH

ARCHIVE Superluxe edition

LONDON, UK — Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of punk’s defining explosion, cultural icon and musical pioneer John Lydon has announced the release of ARCHIVE, a monumental new photographic visual memoir documenting his extraordinary life and career. Available for pre-order, the volume provides an unprecedented, deeply personal retrospective spanning five decades of cultural revolution.

ARCHIVE brings together exclusive, previously unseen photographs from Lydon’s private collection, opening a window into his childhood before guiding readers through the maelstrom of punk and beyond. Alongside rare visual documentation, the book features raw, candid commentary and reflection from Lydon on the groundbreaking legacy of the Sex Pistols, the fearless sonic exploration of Public Image Limited (PiL), and intimate tributes to the two cornerstone figures of his life: his late wife, Nora Forster, and his long-time best friend and manager, the late John Rambo Stevens.

Speaking on the release, John Lydon commented: "This isn't a nostalgia trip. It’s a record of real life—the good, the chaos, the quiet moments, and the people who stood by me through it all. Looking back over 50 years, it was time to open up the personal collection and set the story straight."

Lydon is currently taking the book on the road in the UK to tour regional theatres and talk about his life. In early 2027, he continues with Public Image Ltd, who will be making stops in New Zealand, Australia, Japan, and for the first time, Singapore, before heading back to the USA for the second leg of This Is Not The Last Tour. All dates can be found here.
