Haunting and mesmerizing, “Nightcrawler,” the newest release from Minneapolis band Graveyard Club, hones in on the best parts of the band’s sound. Combining synth with an indie rock undertone, the track easily transports listeners to the strangely serene and spookiest of mindsets and atmospheres.
Lead singer Matthew Schufman said this about the track off of their upcoming sophomore album, Cellar Door:
“Nightcrawler was the first song we finished as a band after completing our last record. At the time, I was recording a large amount of demos trying to pin down what our next record should sound like. This one stuck out immediately for all of us and came together within an hour. In a lot of ways, this song set the tone for what the rest of the record would become.
At the time of writing Nightcrawler, I was struggling with a lot of anxieties regarding growing older and struggling with accepting/rejecting the process of aging. I was also reading a lot of old Ray Bradbury horror stories and listening to 1980’s Bruce Springsteen records. I wanted these songs to contain the dark poetic language of Bradbury and also feel large and anthemic. My hope is that Nightcrawler somehow captured those forces.”
