She & Him 'Volume One' Leaves Some Eagerly Awaiting Volume Two...


Including me.

While some indie critics named it as one of their picks for top album of the year, others seemed to brush aside the simple lyrics and infectious melodies that Zooey Deschanel wove together with band mate M. Ward.

Deschanel, most notably known for her role as Jovie in 2003's movie Elf gave us another offering of her classic sounding and warm voice with the release of Volume One in 2008. With the exception of a Beatle's cover on the album, all of the songs were either written or co-written by Deschanel. Notable tracks include the album opener, 'Sentimental Heart' and go on to include 'Take It Back' and 'I Was Made For You.' My personal favorite? The hidden track 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.'

Either way, not a single track disappoints and this album was without a doubt a breath of fresh air in the music world.
