This song will be out on May 22.

Delving into local folklore, Goodnight, Texas mined a righteous story here from Seattle, of D.B. Cooper following folks around, and it’s “I’m being followed by you-know-who” over a fast paced, grungy alternative electric celebration. Turn it up and reap the benefits of Goodnight, Texas.
I find nothing more interesting than unbelievable stories from the past that seem unsolvable – and none are more wild than that of D.B. Cooper. I am always looking for ways to combine my love of researching history, writing lyrics and telling stories and this paired all three with this Violent Femmes-esque barnburner that had been in our back pocket for a while. Also, with The Ghost of D.B. Cooper we are finally adding Seattle, Washington to the ever growing list of geographical locations featured in Goodnight, Texas songs. – Avi Vinocur
