Whatever you might think of her acting choices of late (“(500) Days Of Summer,” “The Happening,” “Yes Man,” “Gigantic”) Zooey Deschanel is blessed with a great voice. If she ever decides to quit acting, she’ll definitely fall another career to keep her going. Luckily, she doesn’t have to choose one over the other, and luckily for us, she seems to be dedicated just as much time to her “side project” as she does her day job.
Teaming with M. Ward and dubbing themselves She & Him, the duo released their first album “Volume One” back in 2008 to some acclaim. The laid back set of tunes found a middle ground between folk, country and classic girl group sounds for a breezy album of laid back pop. Since then, they’ve made appearances on various soundtracks with exclusive tracks including “(500) Days Of Summer” and “The Go-Getter.”
Well, we’re happy to report that set of songs, “Volume Two,” is slated for release on April 5th courtesy of Merge Records. A sneak peek of the album has arrived with “In The Sun” hitting the web. The song finds the duo in familiar form and backed on vocals by Tilly & The Wall. We dig it. Full tracklist and song below:
