She & Him | 08/05/08
Double Six Records is delighted to introduce you to She & Him.
She & Him are Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward retrospectively. They first met in 2006 for a movie soundtrack project in which they recorded a version of Richard and Linda Thompson’s 'When I Get To The Border'.
During a conversation about their shared love of old records, Zooey let slip that she wrote her own songs. Somewhat shy about sharing these musical morsels, she was eventually persuaded to send them to M. He was instantly impressed, and they soon reconvened at his Portland studio to begin work.
Recorded over a period of several months between acting work (She) and touring commitments (Him), the pair found time to bring Zooey’s fledgling songs to gorgeous fruition.
The result is 'Volume One', a time capsule collection of songs that arouses the wholesome innocence of '60s America: 'teenage dances at the high school prom and then going to 'Make Out Point' in Pa’s old convertible for sunset' type of visions, all conjured up by the warm and dreamy analogue sounds of M’s production and Zooey’s beautifully alluring voice.
It's a accomplished, distinctive and endlessly charming album which will woo you into submission within minutes. If you don't believe us, check out this swoon inducing live performance of 'Change Is Hard' from a recent show of live on Craig Ferguson Show in the US.
Get ready to be romanced, 'Volume One' will be available on CD and via digital download on Monday the 14th of July 2008 and first single 'This Is Not A Test' precedes the album on Monday the 7th of July.
