About
In the fall of 2013, Graveyard Club recorded a batch of spooky, synth-laden 80’s pop songs in the basement of a 19th century mansion in St. Paul, MN. Originally comprised of Matthew Schufman (vocals, synth) and Michael Wojtalewicz (guitar), the band expanded to include Cory Jacobs (drums) and Amanda Zimmerman (bass, synth, vocals). The band draws influences from 50's crooners, 80's new wave and modern day dream-pop bands.
After the January 2014 release of their lo-fi first EP Sleepwalk, the quartet wrote and recorded their first album, Nightingale with Ed Ackerson at Flowers Studio in Minneapolis. Nightingale was released in September of 2014, pushing the sound established on Sleepwalk into new directions while retaining some of the dark, haunted appeal. The LP featured singles “The Night is Mine”, and “Into the Dark.”
Following Nightingale, the band wrote and recorded intensively throughout 2015, creating the songs that will become their second LP, Cellar Door. With lead single “Nightcrawler” Cellar Door aims to be Graveyard Club’s biggest LP yet.
