Dead Man's Bones - Dead Man's Bones

You've seen him in The Notebook; you've seen him in Fracture, but it wasn't until Lars and The Real Girl came out that you were able to hear Ryan Gosling's delicate vibrato which harkens back to singers long since gone. As it turns out, Mr. Gosling also has a sort of affinity for the paranormal and the occult. What started as a "theatrical monster love story" written for the stage by Gosling and friend Zach Shields became a musical endeavor [though neither knew much of playing musical instruments]. What came out, however, is a self-titled album that is thick with reverb-y vocals backed by the Silverlake Conservatory of Music's Children's Choir; lo-fi in nature and very [pardon the pun] haunting.

Dead Man's Bones is an incredible album that will be released on October 6th. Take this as an opportunity to enjoy some inventive and great music a few days before most others [though in fairness, I don't see this release topping the charts].
