Take a listen to the track via Soundcloud below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/626060295&amp;color=%23aaadad&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false&amp;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new album is brimming with haunting melodies, poetic lyric narratives, and enveloping synths. A combination that fans of Stars, Magnetic Fields, and M83 will surely gravitate towards. Sonically, the band bridge the gap between 80&#8217;s goth and synth pop and 50&#8217;s crooners, creating a distinctly nostalgic feel for a place and time you feel you know intimately, but never really existed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Graveyard Club began inspired by a unique list of shared interests: the classic short stories of sci-fi author Ray Bradbury, the music of Ryan Gosling&#8217;s little-known band Dead Man&#8217;s Bones, and a fascination with both 50&#8217;s crooners and 80&#8217;s pop music.<em> &#8220;My parents played a lot of oldies in the house as I was growing up,&#8221;<\/em> recalls Matthew Schufman (vocals, synths). <em>&#8220;Some of my earliest musical memories were of hearing Roy Orbison, Everly Brothers, and Buddy Holly blasting out of the living room speakers. The melodies and emotion of those songs captivated me instantly. I was transfixed. As a teenager, I fell in love with the dark, synth-heavy sounds of The Cure and New Order. Since then, I have been frequently drawn back to the 1950&#8217;s and 80&#8217;s as a source of musical inspiration.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A school teachers&#8217; break room is an unusual location for a band&#8217;s origin story to begin, but Matthew and Michael first met through their teaching jobs in Minneapolis. And yet, any student of theirs who made up fantastical stories about what their instructors did after the final school bell rang wouldn&#8217;t have been let down to learn Mr. Schufman and Mr. Wojtalewicz were sneaking off after class to record music in a 19th century mansion. After releasing their first EP <em>Sleepwalk<\/em>, they invited Amanda and Cory into the Graveyard Club. A move that would not only add heft to their rhythm section but, but also introduce Amanda&#8217;s vocals into the mix as a counter balance to Matthew&#8217;s distinctive baritone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recorded with producer Andy Thompson, Graveyard Club&#8217;s forthcoming  album &#8216;Goodnight Paradise&#8217; was the product of a tumultuous and soul searching period for Matthew. <em>&#8220;This record, more than any other I&#8217;ve been a part of in my lifetime, feels like it&nbsp;cost&nbsp;something to make,&#8221;<\/em> he explains. <em>&#8220;Paid for with a whole lot of sorrows, with hours of rumination, with hope, and the persistent ache of a person suddenly surmising that it&#8217;s all lost, whatever &#8216;it&#8217; is.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8216;Goodnight Paradise&#8217; is an album influenced by transition, both in life and in the seasons. At 32 in the fall of 2017, he found himself living alone for the first time in his life. The development was initially freeing, providing him time to rediscover himself and some of his interests. Some of the more energetic and hopeful songs on the record were written during this period. But as winter descended, that freeing feeling dissolved into one of sadness and isolation. <em>&#8220;That winter became the lens under which I examined all the ways that my life wasn&#8217;t working,&#8221;<\/em> relates Matthew, leading to some of the darker songs written for the album.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eventually however, winter would fade, and Matthew would spend evenings walking throughout the neighborhood of Cathedral Hill in St. Paul, soaking up the warm air. During that period he would often record demos with the windows open and the summer night slightly pouring into his apartment. Some of these airy summer sounds find their way onto the album, like the crickets chirping in the background of <em>Cassandra<\/em>. <em>&#8220;Throughout all this time,&#8221;<\/em> explains Matthew, <em>&#8220;the other members of the band helped navigate the foggy mess of songs.&nbsp;There were some things worth keeping.&nbsp; Most things were worth leaving. Without them, I would&#8217;ve drifted aimlessly through it all, and given up on the pieces. They were the glue that made any of this ramshackle structure stay together. At the time, I really had no idea what I was doing, or where it all was heading.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The end result of the efforts is &#8216;Goodnight Paradise,&#8217; a celebration of endings as well as beginnings, life and death, winter, summer, and trying to stay young despite the inevitability of growing old.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1220\" height=\"1220\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/9e2d8621d53fe9aa7c1e5f9c_1220x1220.jpg?fit=640%2C640\" alt=\"Graveyard Club Goodnight Paradise cover art\" class=\"wp-image-31212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/9e2d8621d53fe9aa7c1e5f9c_1220x1220.jpg?w=1220 1220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/9e2d8621d53fe9aa7c1e5f9c_1220x1220.jpg?resize=150%2C150 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/9e2d8621d53fe9aa7c1e5f9c_1220x1220.jpg?resize=300%2C300 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/9e2d8621d53fe9aa7c1e5f9c_1220x1220.jpg?resize=768%2C768 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/9e2d8621d53fe9aa7c1e5f9c_1220x1220.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/9e2d8621d53fe9aa7c1e5f9c_1220x1220.jpg?resize=144%2C144 144w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This summer the band will tour North America, with midwest and west coast dates announced so far.
