iTunes Review
Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields originally wanted to film a horror musical using these spooky folky tunes, but instead decided to only pursue the songs. The duo met via their girlfriends and bonded over horror movies, sci-fi books and music. Before recording, they laid down some rules — no electric guitars, no click-tracks, and ditch any part that went over three takes. They also took on some instruments unfamiliar to them prior to rolling tape. And with ample help from the children of the Silverlake Conservatory of Music, the end result is a wonderfully eerie album of psychedelic haunted house music with obvious nods to the Langley Schools Music Project. “Dead Hearts” sets the tone mildly with hushed crooning before the song gets orchestral and glass can be heard shattering in the background. The creepy “In The Room Where You Sleep” is as disturbing as it is cool, sounding at times like the Arcade Fire playing through a bad trip. Celebrity aside, the kids are the brightest stars here, especially on the contagiously fun ‘50s-inspired monster mash, “My Body’s a Zombie For You.”
Customer Reviews
Just in time for Halloween.
Not everyday does one come accross an album with as much character as "Dead Man's Bones". The personality of these individuals can be heard in every lyric and chord. The music is haunting, in perfect time for Halloween, yet beautiful and sentimental. The children's choir gives the gentlemen not only a soft side, but a creepy side - and they use both to their advantage. They say their influence was Disney's "The Haunted Mansion". I'd believe it.
The album does not contain the live versions of "In The Room Where You Sleep" and "Name In Stone", which is indeed disappointing. Their live performances are very raw, as are many of their recorded works. "Dead Man's Bones" is certainly one of the most original and exciting albums I have heard since I've been back at school. I fully recommend them to anyone and everyone.
If you are looking for a single song to sample, I'd go with "My Bodies A Zombie For You", which is possibly the most catchy song ever, or "Paper Ships" - one of my personal favorites. I hope other people enjoy this group as much as I do.
This isn't Scarlett Johansson.
This is a fantastic record. I am just slightly dissapointed that it doesn't include "Name in Stone" an "In the Room Where You Sleep" has been changed quite a bit from the original "live" version that was the first song ever leaked online (probably because, with the kids the lyrics seem a little too creepy). Personally, I have been waiting quite a while for this record for multiple reasons. The first being the great and very unconvenctional. The songs are really rough and didn't sound perfect. I liked this quality quite a bit. The kid's choir, which gives the whole album a great sense of depth, and lastly, it might have flopping simply because of the celebrity-type label that, with Gosling, is inevitable. Any music fan will know that most celebrity attempts at a record are simply laughable. Gosling does not fall into the same trap as Steven Segal, William Shatner, Bruice Willis, Paris Hilton, Leonard Nemoy... The list goes on.
This record is sort of a mix between lost tracks from the Munster's TV show, a slight New Orleans touch with a hint of Arcade Fire mixed in. At times the kids are a bit off when singing, but I only expected it from the early songs. So it's not a big deal.
Magical and ethereal
Perfect music to smoke a cig to. 'Nuff said.
