Zooey Deschanel & M. Ward (She & Him)
 

Shes releasing an album which is apparently a little bit country, a little bit rock and roll. She did a session with M. Ward and it's some realllly good stuff. I'll post my favorite song. I really really like her voice.

She has a great voice. Is M. Ward in that song with her? Because he compliments her very well. It is a very good song, very lovely.

:p: i love theese indie/alt threads, i always find such good artists

i saw this like 2 days ago and i want the album sooo bad

She and Him leaked awhile ago, anyone have/heard it?

Can anyone recommend something from these folks? (also if you see threads related, link them here and I'll merge them)

Tracks I love:
Sentimental Heart
Change Is Hard
You Really Got A Hold On Me

I adore their first album, I can get you a link if you'd like.

I thought the album was pretty good, though I probably wouldnt of ever bothered picking it up if it wasn't for Zooey. Are they gonna make another album anytime soon?

Volume Two is due out in 2010.

I was listening to Volume One last night and it is excellent. I love Zooey's voice (and in general). I still need to check out an M. Ward album.

Zooey Deschanel is divine as ever. Something about M.Ward that I just can't get along with though. His music always feels awkward to me and I just can't get into it.

The music is pretty good, she has a really good voice. i don't think it's something to rave over but definitely enjoyable. from what i hear she is dating ben gibbard, why they don't do anything together is beyond me.

Is that 'You Really Got A Hold On Me' video awkward or what? Is she she cheating on Gibbard with Ward or something?

It's probably because M. Ward is the most unoriginal musician ever, which wouldn't be a problem if it didn't sound like the most unoriginal music ever. I can't really listen to She & Him songs where he sings.

YouTube - This Little Light Of Mine (Live In Dublin)

YouTube - One Hundred Million Years, M. Ward

It's just ... cringe worthy. I don't mind plagiarism in music too much, you hear a good tune and you want to do something with it. But it's shamelessly twisting it and then trying to pass it off as vaguely original.


Yeah, her stage presence is definitely very lacking and somewhat uncomfortable to watch. On the plus side, nice legs.

She really does have a good voice and IMHO is freakin hot too :D

i really liked their Volume One album, plus it got me into M.Ward's stuff, which is also great.

I just saw them on Elvis Costello's show 'Spectacle' last night. Good stuff. They did some songs with Elvis and Jenny Lewis.

she looks like katy perry

her voice is aight i guess but the music is nice

her lyrics are a little simple and you can tell she's not pro status at it
but you can tell she's gonna get better with M. ward on her side

In the words of Mark from Peep Show, she's the self-hating and anxious man's crumpet.

I don't. They brutally murdered The Smiths - Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want. :( (see 500 Days Of Summer)

M.Ward is pretty decent though.

Yeah so Volume 2 got leaked and I gave it a listen and am really enjoying it. I still like Volume 1 better, at least for now, but still I love me some She & Him!

Also the whole album is available to stream on NPR so you can give it a listen through there.

Why is Zooey Deschanel such a big deal? Shes just okay. rather simplistic really. I guess I'm bitter.
I do really like M. Ward though.
