Graveyard Club - Goodnight Paradise (2019)

Posted By: Domestos

Date: July 6, 2019

On album opener “Witchcraft” the band shimmer and are bigger than ever before with the help of engineer/producer Andy Thompson (Taylor Swift, Dan Wilson, jeremy messersmith, Belle and Sebastian). Sonically the band bridge familiar spaces from 80's synths to 50's crooners creating a distinctly nostalgic feel for a place and time you feel you know intimately, but never really existed. It's Twin Peaks in Cathedral Hill and Boris Karloff at the Under-The-Sea prom of your dreams.

Elsewhere, “It Hurts”, “Red Roses”, and “Dreamland” find the band at their most anthemic, while “Cassandra” and “Miles and Miles” paint reflective moments in found sounds. There is deep release in “Deathproof” and a catharsis in “Birdie” that boils up in Schufman’s voice. These themes are similarly found in “July” and “William”, though obscured and deconstructed. If “Maureen” is a slow dance with an imaginary partner in your bedroom, “Finally Found” is an epic journey with that partner through winding roads, blinking arcades, and across speeding highways. The album’s namesake, then, is a cinematic instrumental and moment of reflection. It’s a meditation and a contradiction - both quiet and messy. It’s a postcard wishing a “Goodnight Paradise.”
