She & Him Reveal New Album Coming This Spring
She & Him—the way-cute musical pairing of New Girl actress Zooey Deschanel and prolific indie songwriter M. Ward—just announced they have a new album dropping this Spring! The retro-minded indie pop duo's Volume 3 will hit digital shelves (and for those who still use "compact discs," actual shelves) on May 7.
We have to point out the title of this album is somewhat misleading—Volume 3 is actually their fourth album, given they dropped a Christmas full-length in 2011. So this will be their fourth effort in five years—a pretty consistent output for a side project. After all, M. Ward just released a new solo album last year and Deschanel has a TV show and a Ben Gibbard divorce to deal with. Busy people!
Cool cover alert: While 11 of the Volume 3 tunes are Deschanel originals, three are covers, and one of those is their take on Blondie's "cold as ice cream but still as sweet" classic "Sunday Girl." Totally seems a perfect fit for her voice.
The duo also unveiled a grip of tour dates, some with country legend Emmylou Harris and Glasgow indie outfit Camera Obscura serving as openers. Check out the Volume 3 tracklist and the just-announced She & Him tour dates below.
