Just in time for Halloween, former My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has released his first new music in two years, the seasonally appropriate “Baby You’re A Haunted House.”
The track is a bouncy, fuzz-filled take on persevering in a love haunted by personal demons, in which these demons are equated with literally being a haunted house. Way is backed by brother and former bandmate Mikey Way on bass, Tom Rasulo (audio engineer and drummer on Hesitant Alien) on drums and Ian Fowles (The Aquabats) on guitar.
The accompanying Claire Marie Vogel-directed lyric video opens with a Russian-speaking, skeleton-costumed speaker announcing the band before the similarly outfitted musicians begin the performance. The video is equally grainy and charming, fitting the track well.
