International bestselling author Neil Gaiman recently released his debut music album with the Australian indie band FourPlay String Quartet. Titled 'Signs of Life', in this new album Gaiman has not only written prose and poetry but also lent his vocals to some songs.
Talking about his first album and the collaboration, Gaiman told NPR in an interview, "The joy of getting to do this stuff with FourPlay is we got to do everything. So we got to do stuff like that where what I’m saying has to absolutely line up with what they’re playing. And then there are mad things like 'Bloody Sunrise', where I wrote a very silly song about a lonely, heartbroken vampire."
