About Dead Man's Bones
Dead Man's Bones began when Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields bonded over a shared love of ghost stories and monster lore, and the idea started out as a stage play before turning into a band. Their only album, the self-titled Dead Man's Bones, came out on Anti- in 2009 and was recorded with the Silverlake Conservatory of Music Children's Choir.
The two played most of the instruments themselves, keeping takes loose and unpolished. When they toured the album, they recruited a local children's choir in each city to sing the songs with them, and opened shows with a talent contest in place of a support act.
