Seattle’s all-women garage-rock wrecking crew The Darts have kicked off their new album cycle with Midnight Creep, the first advance single from their upcoming full length, Halloween Love Songs, that is due out on March 3rd via Adrenalin Fix Music. The single finds the band slipping deeper into the spooky, swagger-heavy garage-trash universe they’ve been flirting with since day one. If you’ve ever wished the Back From the Grave comps came with a dance craze, you’re already in the right neighborhood.
Midnight Creep started as a surprise curveball when bassist Lindsay Scarey brought vocalist and Farfisa organist Nicole Laurenne a demo called Phantom Creep. Nicole was already quietly writing a Halloween themed album and immediately heard a chance to chase something different: an honest-to-ghoul old school monster dance, the kind that might’ve aired on a haunted Shindig episode taped in a basement full of fog machines and paper mâché bats. She rebuilt the tune into a slinky, organ-driven earworm; Lindsay created a simple, go-go-friendly choreography; and suddenly The Darts had a Halloween banger that felt both brand-new and weirdly familiar.
