Kendra Sheetz Seattle all-women garage-punk outfit The Darts returns with a new single entitled “Midnight Creep.” The new single is the first off the band’s upcoming LP, Halloween Love Songs, which will be released on March 3rd via Adrenalin Fix Music.
“Midnight Creep” started as a surprise curveball when bassist Lindsay Scarey brought vocalist/keyboardist 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. 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.
To bottle that energy, the band teamed up with Frogman director Anthony Cousins, who shot a gloriously campy video steeped in B-movie mood: basement gloom, creature-feature attitude, and the dance front and center for anyone ready to join the creep. It looks like the lost midnight-movie segment some long-gone TV station forgot to broadcast.
