Dead Man's Bones
Ryan Gosling, the actor from Lars and the Real Doll and The Notebook, decided he was next in line to be a terrible actor/musician. He even recruited a children’s choir to help him!
And through the first two songs he succeeds, a spoken word intro and then some garbled mess open the record. Then “In the Room Where you Sleep” comes in and it’s just so damn goofy that it’s likable.
The pitchfork review is actually pretty spot on.
