Gosling To Release Music Album
8 July 2009 12:11 PM, PDT

Ryan Gosling is moving from the big screen to the music studio - the actor is set to release his first album.

The Notebook star and his Dead Man's Bones bandmate Zach Shields have signed with indie label Anti Records to release a self-titled debut disc in October.

And the actor credits contributions from from the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir, a Los Angeles-based children's chorus, with inspiring him to steer clear of pop music during the two-year recording process.

Gosling tells music website Pitchfork.com, "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? 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."

I wonder how Ryan will sound as a singer.

I wonder why it is that actors always want to sing and singers always want to act?

On October 6, Anti- will release the self-titled debut album from Dead Man's Bones, the collaboration between actors Ryan Gosling and Zach Shields.

The album was recorded with the Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir, a group of Los Angeles-area kids ranging in age from five to seventeen. As you can see the choir is front and center on the album cover.
