Immersing in its blend of gothic post-punk mystique and danceable hookiness, “Dancing in the Graveyard” is a compelling track from Salt Lake City-based rockers Sunset Station. The track takes inspiration from the novel Blood Meridian, in addition to early post-punk — and The Cure’s 1981 album Faith in particular. As the band describes: “This song lives in the space between sorrow and movement — a ghost watching from below while the living keep dancing above.”

Catching our ears a few months ago with the track “Decoys,” “Dancing in the Graveyard” continues the band’s penchant for quality songwriting — this time within a delectably stylish post-punk range, succeeding in both spoken-word suave ruminations within bass-y rumbles and more expansive guitar/synth interplaying moodiness.
