LOS ANGELES (CelebrityAccess MediaWire) — She & Him – singer/songwriter Zooey Deschanel and multi-instrumentalist/producer M. Ward – are thrilled to bring you the brilliant new video from their forthcoming sophomore album, Volume Two, out on March 23rd on Merge Records. The video is for the first single from the album, a brilliant piece of pop bliss called “In the Sun.” The video, shot by director Peyton Reid (Bring It On, Yes Man), is the perfect complement to the song’s sunshine chorus.
She & Him will also be playing select shows around Volume Two’s release and throughout the summer, including stops at this year’s Coachella,
Sasquatch and Bonnaroo festivals.
Following in the footsteps of duos like The Carpenters and Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazelwood before them, She & Him have very quickly established themselves amongst pop’s finest two-piece collaborators. Described by Zooey as a “feel-good album,” Volume Two is bolstered by rich harmonies, sweet-as-sugar melodies and Brill Building choruses. From sweeping opener “Thieves” and first single “In the Sun” (featuring guest vocals by Tilly and the Wall), to the tempo and mood shifts of “Home” and the vocals-only, hymn-like closer “If You Can’t Sleep,” Volume Two shimmers from start to finish.
