What it sounds like
The new wave classic turned into a dark Halloween track, produced by Norman Crates and Ghost M’lone with DeepKutz on vocals.
What it’s about
The original is a new wave anthem about restless kids looking for something to do on a Friday night. LVCRFT’s version keeps that energy and drags it into the dark, so it sounds like the soundtrack to a horror movie.
