Two men, one actor, about 25 young kids, one musical group. Not your
average band, right? Meet Dead Man’s Bones, made up of Zach Shields and
acclaimed actor Ryan Gosling. Their one and only album was recorded
with the LA Silverlake Conservatory Children’s Choir, who even joined
them on their recent tour in late 2009. But their bizarreness doesn’t
end there. Along with impressive solos from some of the older members
of the choir, Dead Man’s Bones incorporates paper ripping for thunder, crying, and werewolf howling, among other things, into their songs. Some of their best tunes include “In the Room Where You Sleep”, “Paper Ships”, and “Pa Pa Power”. Their eerie sounds and Halloween-ish music reminisces childhood feelings from The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. Yet, it’s unique sound is appropriate any time of the year.

Listen to the song here.
