Dead Man's Bones: Perfect Autumn Soundtrack

So today the CMJ College Radio Award nominations came out... turns out our station is up for an amazing 10 different awards... and I'm personally up for music director of the year! Incredible news for this incredible day! Probably a good reason why I'm up after 4am writing instead of sleeping.

Anyway, happy October 1st to you all! Being that Autumn and October happen to be a favorite time of the year for me, I'd like to share some delicious new music that's pretty spooky and worth checking out. Many have started to write about Dead Man's Bones and I'm going to join them. This duo of Zach Shields and Ryan Gossling originally met back in 2005 and intended their now self-titled album to be the soundtrack for a monster-type movie. Even by itself its still some great tuneage.

Employing the Silverlake Conservatory of Music Children's Choir, working with Tim Anderson of I'm A Robot, laying down some guidelines (no more than 3 takes, playing every instrument themselves, and not using a click track), and stemming from various music they have created the perfect fall/Halloween soundtrack. I do believe this is the first blog to post "Pa Pa Power"... so be sure to check it out. And of course for more info check out the Anti- website and the Dead Man's Bones website. Buy the album when it hits shelves this coming Tuesday, the artwork is just as good!
