Fans can download the track for free from the <a href="http://toddtobiasmusic.bandcamp.com/album/i-razor">Hidden Shoal Store</a>.

‘All The Good Ones Are Gone’ is the first official cut from the soundtrack to<em> I Razor</em>, the no-budget experimental feature film directed by <a href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/project/todd-tobias/">Todd Tobias</a>. The track finds Circus Devils at their most introspective, as Robert Pollard’s unmistakably commanding and affecting vocals and wonderful lyrical play roll out over beds of melancholic sequenced piano and synth courtesy of Todd Tobias. ‘All The Good Ones Are Gone’ soundtracks the final sequence of <em>I Razor</em>, providing a beautifully reflective and suitably dreamy cinematic finale. This is some of Pollard and Tobias’s most nuanced work to date.

<em>“Wistful, pretty, and melancholy, Pollard lets loose a truly affecting melody with a wonderfully natural delivery. It’s been said over and over again that he makes it look easy -- and even after years and years of songwriting, tracks like ‘You First’ indicate that he’s far from reaching a brick wall.”</em> – <strong>Pitchfork on <em>Ringworm Interiors</em></strong>

The <em>I Razor</em> soundtrack, to be released by Hidden Shoal in May 2013, comprises work by Todd Tobias and Circus Devils, featuring vocals from Robert Pollard (Guided By Voices) as well as instrumental versions of some of the band’s existing songs. The album is a cinematic feast within itself, uncompromising, redemptive and always engaging.
