I have recently walked the corridors of Indigo looking for answers! I feel like this year has started off on the wrong foot musically and I need a melodic pick-me up. Looking for something a little Bobby Vinton meets The Misfits (just the flavour I wanted on my palette that day- last week I was looking for Freddie Mcgregor meets the Clarendonians and realized I just wanted to listen to some Viceroys after all). I was looking for something with choir chants and 1940's piccolo flute, and BOY,did I find what I was looking for. I have discovered something so wonderful , yet somehow it was right under my nose! I first heard of actor Ryan Gosling's band of brothers called Dead Man's Bones a few months ago when I read a brief music review in Bust magazine. I thought they sounded wonderful! Planning on research was a must, but getting caught up with life allowed me to decline in blogging lately. So in my usual attempt to go to Chapters without buying anything but a coffee with , I found something pulling me in the direction of the music section. I knew what I wanted, but wasn't sure If they would have it. And to think I misjudged! I had a craving, and I am fed. Not Only do I find the words so lyrically satisfying, I actually have Ty liking a few of the tracks! (something that never happens when I obsess over new music). Gosling provides vocals much like those of Ian Curtis of Joy division. You will love the melodies and find yourself listening to the album a few times a day. Oh and the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir pays a huge contribution to this album (the icing on the cake). This is my favorite pick of the year so far..
