alison the wilca Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 this is kind of exciting, i love each of their voices on their own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 the first song i heard them do was that Richard & Linda Thompson cover linked above, and while musically it's fantastic, and Matt sounds great, Zooey's voice in that song is super monotone and frankly quite dull, but the other 3 songs i've heard them do since then have been great. this is gonna kick ass Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pnêyu Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I saw her singing old Les Paul/Mary Ford tunes with Jon Brion at Largo a couple of Christmases ago, and she was ridiculously delightful--should be a fun combo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 that's a good song. when i get to the border, though, was shockingly bad. is there a track list? cos hopefully that was just an outtake.it's from an upcoming soundtrack that Matt's songs mostly make up, i forget the name. i didn't think it was a bad cover, Matt sang most of it and musically it was great. her voice was a bit dull on that one i'd agree, but it did the original justice i felt.

lizish Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Think the movie is called 'The Go-getter' Thanks for that new song link! Ripper. Press release on the thing: She & HimVolume 1March 18, 2008 She & Him is a story of musical serendipity. Zooey Deschanel and M.Ward first met in 2006 for a movie soundtrack project in which theyrecorded a version of Richard and Linda Thompson's "When I Get To TheBorder". While in the studio, they were immediately struck by oneanother's talents and found an instant rapport. During a conversationabout their shared love of old records, Zooey let slip that she wroteher own songs, which she recorded alone at home on her computer.Somewhat shy about sharing these musical morsels, she was eventuallypersuaded to send them to M. He was instantly impressed, and they soonreconvened at his Portland studio to begin work. Recorded over a period of several months between acting work (She) andtouring commitments (Him), the pair found time to bring Zooey'sfledgling songs to gorgeous fruition. Throughout the process, theytook their partnership to the stage, first at the Sundance FilmFestival in January 07 and then again on M's tour with Norah Joneslast summer. Embracing the warm sound of classic analog recordings, Volume 1 ismore than just a showcase for Zooey's rich and alluring voice; it's adistinctive and endlessly charming album. The songs themselves - 9originals written by Zooey and 2 cover versions - give a respectfulnod to the likes of Dusty Springfield, Linda Ronstadt and The Zombieswhile M's production gives them just the right amount of golden erasheen. Whether Zooey's channeling Ronnie Spector as on "I Was Made ForYou" or joining Matt in turning The Beatles "I Should Have KnownBetter" into a seductive hula guitar duet, the results are alwaysenchanting. Catch She & Him live in March: Sunday March 2nd San Francisco, CA @ Noise PopFriday March 14th Austin, TX @ The Parish (Merge Records SXSW showcase Quote Link to post Share on other sites
