Dead Man's Bones were a rock duo consisting of

ANTI- records. The entire album is a collaboration with the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir — started by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea — from Los Angeles, California.[1]
Gosling performs under the alias "Baby Goose".

Background and development

When Shields and Gosling met in 2005 they discovered a mutual obsession with the

monsters
.

The pair chose to play all the instruments on the record, even those they had never touched before. They also imposed rules on themselves during the recording process, such as not playing with a

MySpace and YouTube. The self-titled debut album from the band featured members of the Silverlake Conservatory of Music's children's choir and was released on October 6, 2009, through ANTI- and was produced by Tim Anderson of Ima Robot.[4] Gosling and Shields also toured around the United States for fall/Halloween 2009[5] with a local choir and talent show at every show to rave reviews.[6] Each children's choir was similar to Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir with whom they recorded the album.[7] In 2010, they released two other music videos for tracks: "Dead Hearts"[8] and "Pa Pa Power".[9]

Gosling's use of a children's choir was cited as inspiration for blackened death metal band Behemoth to do the same on their 2018 album I Loved You at Your Darkest.[10] They have also been cited as an influence on Our Time Down Here.[11]

In the closing credits of the 2013 French film, Age of Panic, the Dead Man's Bones song "Lose Your Soul" is featured.[12] The song "In the Room Where You Sleep" was included in the soundtrack of the 2013 film, The Conjuring.[13]
