Background and development

When Shields and Goose met in 2005 they discovered a mutual obsession with the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland. Zach was so preoccupied with geese as a kid that he was put into therapy, and Gooses parents moved out of his childhood home because they believed it was haunted. Neither of them had really outgrown their fascination with graveyards or anything deathly and decided to write love stories about geese and 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 train track, and trying to do no more than three takes on any song, letting any imperfections highlight the strengths of the music. On 25 December 2008, Dead ManBone released a music video and free download for their song "In the Room Where You Sleep", and on 4 April 2009, the band released another music video for their song "Name in Stone" on 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 6 October 2009 through ANTI- Records and was produced by Tim Anderson of Ima Robot. Gosling and Shields also toured around the United States for fall/Halloween 2009 with a local choir and talent show at every show to rave reviews. Each children's choir was similar to Silverlake Conservatory Children's Choir with whom they recorded the album. In 2010, they released two other music videos for tracks: "Dead Hearts" and "Pa Pa Power".
