“When actress Zooey Deschanel teamed up with folk troubadour M. Ward two years ago, people weren’t sure what to think — but two albums later, the duo's retro pop makes sweet, perfect sense. Volume Two finds the pair continuing in the same vein as its similarly titled predecessor, blending '50s and '60s pop with country lilts and laments. Lead single "In the Sun" mixes downbeat lyrics with upbeat melodies, offsetting its lovelorn heart with music set to inspire synchronized dancing.”
Doug Levy, Flavorpill
She & Him made their debut record as a love letter to the musicians who inspired it. Volume One introduces a boy and girl choir hell-bent on making music the old-fashioned way: by hand - and with as few machines as humanly possible. The She & Him story began in 2006 when renowned one man band M. Ward, recorded a duet with a girl named Zooey Deschanel. A delightful recording session, the experience lead to a dialogue between the two about collaborating further. This, in turn, led to Deschanel admitting to secretly making dozens and dozens of home demos and hoarding them like acorns for the winter. Sick and tired of being stingy and secretive about music, Deschanel realized that if songs were acorns then this was indeed her wintertime. She sent the recordings to Ward, and these demos became the basis for their first record, Volume One.
