The video for She & Him’s “In The Sun” is out and features collaborators Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward in a high school and dance number that’s rather watchable (typically not in my wheelhouse in terms of music–all of my favorite musicians of the last dozens years, excluding The Roots, didn’t make it to this century). Some rather wholesome Zooey ambiance going on here thought. This is the first single from their upcoming Volume Two album which is out on March 23rd.
Back in December, Deschanel – while attending the 2009 mtvU Woodie Awards – told MTV this about the project:
It’s going to [be a] more evolved version of the sound but bigger and with some more lush production and some sweet jams,” she laughed. “I’m not at liberty to say [when the album will be released]. … I don’t know if it’s ‘top secret,’ but I’ve been told I’m not allowed to say, so I’ll just say that it’s close to being done and probably coming out in the spring. Probably. Maybe.”
