Dead Man's Bones
The 2 great minds of Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields come as 1 to create Dead Man's Bones that derives from their obsession with the 'haunted mansion'ride at Disneyland. This gives the songs a creepy feel as we can see from the video in PA PA POWER.
The music is infested with silent melo-dramas, old hall vaudleville horror music (which I would class as 'gospel horror').... and of course not forgetting being touched by the sweet sound of LA's Silverlake Childrens Choir. Goslings vocals are impressive yet very authentic unlike anything you've heard, and there's a smattering of weird instruments you'd never expect. Its as if Dan Wilson (Semisonic) & James Mercer (Broken Bells, Shins) are strumming his vocal strings whilst hearing the haunting innocence of the children. .
Beautiful yet spooky and upbeat....
