Thanks to a mutual affinity for ghosts, zombies, and gothic imagery, actor Ryan Gosling and friends Zach Shields set out to create a haunting music theater production. Eventually, that idea fell by the wayside, and the two simply formed a band, known as Dead Man's Bones. Only two of their songs have been released to the internet thus far, but interested music fans can anticipate much more, as Dead man's Bones has been signed to Anti- Records are now scheduled to drop their self-titled debut on October 6th of this year.
In an interview with Pitchfork earlier this year, Gosling also talked about the reason for recording with a children's choir: "You know when you're a kid and you get crayons and papers and just draw whatever you want and it's just a bunch of messy lines, but to you it makes sense, and then they put it on the fridge? From that point on, you're always trying to get back on the fridge, you start drawing things that look like something, like, the more it looks like a horse, the more chance you have of getting it on the fridge. We wanted to get back to that place before we were trying to make the fridge. We wanted to work with people who hadn't been affected in that way yet."
