About Being Dead
Being Dead is built around Cody Dosier and Juli Keller, who perform as Gumball and Bloody Show and trade lead vocals, often singing together in close, choir-like unison before a song lurches somewhere else entirely. Their debut album, When Horses Would Run, came out on Bayonet Records.
EELS, the follow-up, kept the band's habit of packing several tempos and moods into a single short song, moving from doo-wop sweetness and reverb-soaked surf lines to shouted, ramshackle punk. The humour in the lyrics sits alongside an odd, earnest tenderness.
