Dead Man's Bones
Dead Man's Bones
(Anti Records)
Ryan Gosling is one of the best actors working in movies today, possessed of a strange, mercurial charm. No reason why we should go easy on any rock band vanity project he might foist upon us, however. Originally devised as the soundtrack for a play Gosling was writing with fellow actor Zach Shields - a love story between a monster and a ghost - Dead Man's Bones turns out to be a decidedly beautiful thing. With roots in the indie-plains sadness of Grandaddy and the haunted doo-wop experiments of David Hidalgo's The Latin Playboys, Shields and Gosling flesh out their heartbreak streetcorner skeletons and Hawley-sad vocals with the silken garb of the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir, tapping into the growing-pains beauty of The Langley Schools Music Project, creating an carnival procession of sugar-coated Halloween hymns, each with a little razor-blade inside.
