As stated in their personal web, "She & Him made their debut record as a love letter to the musicians who inspired it. Volume One (Merge Records) 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"
Yes, the band's consist of a boy name M. Ward, a renowned one man band, and the quirky yet beautiful, Zooey Deschanel. They began their music adventure in 2006. and now, they are releasing their debut album. There are 13 songs which sounded very easy listening, native american style. What i mean with native american style is these songs reminisce the simple, folky american neighborhood kinda songs. You won't find any guitar distortion or multi tempo drum sound. Just a classic guitar accompanied by the sweet voice of deschanel's.
When i hear the playlist of the album, i directly associate the sounds with some American classic 70's or 90's movie. Yet i believe that the songs would be a great soundtrack for movies like Juno or 50's first date too.
My personal favourites are: This Is Not A Test, Sentimental Hearts, and I Thought I Saw Your Face Today.
For the fans of: Wilco, The Carpenters
