I read awhile ago that actress/musician
Zooey Deschanel was putting out a record sometime in 2008 and failed to mention it on my
albums coming out in 2008 list. While doing some research today, via
The Leather Canary,
The Leather Canary (part 2),
The Playlist,
Pitchfork, and
KCRW, I found a lot of new information. It turns out that
Zooey has teamed up with
M. Ward and they are supposedly releasing an album called,
Volume One, due out on 3/18, under the name
She & Him, via
Ward's home,
Merge.
Now I don't know about you, but I first fell in love with
Zooey and her voice in the movie
Elf and then again in
Winter Passing. She was also in
Almost Famous, an indie flick that I need to check out
The Go-Getter (where she meet
M. Ward), and will play Janis Joplin in
Gospel According To Janis, which is to be release in 2010. Along with many other projects, Zooey also had time to help out friend/ex-lover
Jason Schwartzman with his current musical project
Coconut Records by laying down some vocals on his 2007 release,
Nighttiming. Man, what a busy girl. Anyway, I highly suggest that you check out these tunes and search the links posted above for some more downloads.
