She and Him

As if Zoey Deschanel needed anything to make her any hotter. The girl can sing!!

Deschanel an M Ward met on the set of a movie called the Go Getter (which I have personally never heard of), when they were asked to sing a duet. Ward then learned that the super-hot Deschanel had in fact written some of her own songs, but was hesitant to record and release them. He later called her and convinced her to put her art into a recording, and "She & Him" was formed.

The two corresponded by email from Portland, OR and Los Angeles, CA. Deschanel finally went to Ward's studio in Portland and their debut album, "Volume One", was recorded in late 2006 and early 2007.

The duo was influenced by the likes of artists produced by George Martin and Phil Spector, and groups like the Carter Family, and their collaboration ends up being an amalgamation of 60's singer songwriters with a dash of cowgirl crooners like Patsy Cline topped of with elements of California soul.

When their album was released, it was declared to be the #1 album of the year by Paste Magazine

They have toured sporadically, and have plans for a follow up album.
