从Myspace开始宣传，She & Him的出现也算是走了网络红人的路线。专辑”Volume One”的发行公司Merge唱片公司，甚至在艺人介绍页面放上了主打作品”Why do you let me stay here?” 民谣摇滚的新组合，给听音乐的人们带来惬意不少。”She”是Zooey Deschanel，”Him”是M.Ward，所谓”男女搭配干活不累”，他们的合作却是美妙(累不累这他们自己知道)。或许是民谣风为主线，无论是”She”还是”Him”，唱腔总给人乡村的感觉。(RollingStone的碟评更是列出了他们唱法近似的艺人名称)。生于美国加州的女主唱Zooey Deschanel的外表让我觉得她是英伦歌手(很漂亮). 生于波兰成长于美国加州的 M.Ward本身已是Merge唱片公司的艺人，并发行过4张专辑。

这个组合值得大家关注！现在欣赏：Why do you let me stay here? [下载]

Merge唱片公司艺人页面介绍：

She & Him is a story of musical serendipity: Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, each renowned in their own creative fields, meet and recognize a certain shared nostalgia. The result is destined to be one of the musical highlights of the year.

Zooey and M. Ward first met to record a version of Richard and Linda Thompson’s “When I Get To The Border” for a movie soundtrack. Immediately struck by one another’s talents and finding an instant rapport, Zooey let slip that she wrote her own songs which she recorded alone at home on her computer. Somewhat shy about anyone hearing these musical morsels she eventually sent the demos to Matt who was instantly impressed. They soon reconvened at his Portland studio to begin work.

Embracing the warm sound of early analog recordings, Volume One is more than just a showcase for Zooey’s rich and endearing voice; it’s a distinctive and endlessly charming album. The songs themselves give a respectful nod to the likes of Dusty Springfield, Linda Ronstadt and The Zombies while Matt’s production gives them just the right amount of golden era sheen. Whether Zooey’s channeling Ronnie Spector as on “I Was Made For You” or joining Matt in turning The Beatles “I Should Have Known Better” into a seductive hula guitar duet, the results are always captivating.
