Score: 4.5/ 5"She" is the actor-singer-songwriter, Zooey Deschanel (most notable in Yes Man and Elf); and "Him" is M. Ward, the genius in acoustic music assembly. And together they put together an album of the lost 70's sound. It's like time travelling back in time, but you realized, no, you haven't travelled because at the back of the album is written 2008. This is an album for everyone. Well, not really. But if you're in the mood of going on a getaway weekend, driving in your car, heading to the beach, then this is the album for you.
She & Him: Volume One is all about heartbreak and falling in love, then having your heart broken and then finding love again and so on. It's like a girl is standng in front of you and asking you to love her. I'd be surprised if you didn't. There's nothing not to love about this album.
Zooey's deep vocal pipe, add in with M. Ward smart musical arrangement, and what you'll get is an acoustic heaven. Let's all hope for a She & Him: Volume Two, now shall we?
P/S: Oh yeah, these guys are indie, so it's pretty hard to find the album, unless you can get it online then it wouldn't be a problem. But in my case, I read about it on the net and just happened to come across it when I went to Australia last year. But, whatever the case is, you MUST BUY IT!
