The duo featuring the Barbie star and screenwriter/producer Zach Shields teased that new music is coming next week.

Ryan Gosling is reviving one of his long-dormant side gigs just in time for Halloween. The Project Hail Mary star announced on Thursday (Oct. 22) that after nearly 20 years of dormancy, new music is on the way from his rock duo side project, Dead Man’s Bones.

In an Instagram video, the duo featuring Gosling and screenwriter/producer Zach Shields (Krampus, Godzilla Vs. Kong), teased their first new music in 17 years, due out on Oct. 27. In keeping with the spooky vibe of their eponymous 2009 debut LP, the brief teaser video has a distinctly Halloween-appropriate air.
