Dead Man’s Bones, the funeral-attended-by-children outfit also known as “that band Ryan Gosling is in,” will release their self-titled debut album on Oct. 6. In an interview with Pitchfork, Gosling has previously described the group’s aesthetic as being from “that place before we were trying to make the fridge,” i.e. when they were younger, and putting crayons to paper in ways that seemed interesting to them, with the thought of actually impressing adults through renderings of horses and the like far from their minds. After the jump, the clip for “Name In Stone.”
The above video, obviously, is black and white, so presumably it’s from the group’s “getting out the crayons, but in possession of enough pencils to make something” phase.

The video (and the song itself) for “In The Room Where You Sleep” still fascinate me:

It could be that Canada Day is still in my blood, but I’m honestly looking forward to this album.
Sounds like they’re getting on the fridge by copying the cool kid that sits next to them in class.
I don’t think it sounds bad at all, but this signing is further proof that the music biz has ZERO to do with the usual tropes: touring, merch sales, paying your dues, etc. This band got signed because Ryan Gosling is in it. I think the guy’s a great actor, but c’mon. Another reason that Chris Anderson can shut it.
@Lucas Jensen: the all time low dude would agree with you.
