She & Him – “In the Sun” Review
The indie folk duo, She & Him, released Volume One back in the Spring of 2008. Volume One was an exquisite album featuring a mixture of melodic tunes that are hark back to early folk music. Many of their songs are melancholic but hopeful at the same time. Zooey Deschanel’s vocals are distinct and undeniably beautiful. They have Volume Two set to release in March 2010. The pair debuted their first single, “In The Sun” from Volume Two on their myspace on January 22, 2010. “In The Sun” features guest vocals from Omaha twee brigade Tilly and the Wall. The tune begins with some upbeat plunking on the piano held by the steady beats of the drum. The mildly sad lyrics are overshadowed by the cheerful and optimistic tone of the song. From the sounds of it, She & Him has stayed true to their indie folk roots. Volume Two is definitely an album I am looking forward to buy (yes, I still buy my cds) and listen to.
