In case you thought Ryan Gosling was only a talented actor, The Notebook star is making an album to prove you wrong. On October 6, Anti- Records will release the debut, self-titled album from Gosling and Zach Shields' "goth-folk" band, Dead Man's Bones. In an interview with Pitchfork, the duo talked about recording with the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir and what motivated the album:

"You know when you're a kid and you get crayons and papers and just draw whatever you want and it's just a bunch of messy lines, but to you it makes sense, and then they put it on the fridge? From that point on, you're always trying to get back on the fridge, you start drawing things that look like something, like, the more it looks like a horse, the more chance you have of getting it on the fridge. We wanted to get back to that place before we were trying to make the fridge. We wanted to work with people who hadn't been affected in that way yet."
