Why She & Him?  From Paste:

Maybe it’s just a sweet little folk record—a tiny, flawless diamond. Or maybe it’s a pristine distillation of harmony and craft; 50 years of songwriting experience served up on a spinning silver platter. Either way, it’s our album of the year. Produced with touches of girl-group splendor and arranged with a dreamy, old-fashioned vibe, She & Him’s debut couldn’t be more adorable.

In 2006, an indie-folk dude from California named M. Ward released an album called Post-War.  It was a quasi-futuristic concept album set sometime after the current Iraq war (100 years from now?).  It sounded like he recorded it in his garage with my grandpa and and old tube delay.  This is not a bad thing.  It was by far my favorite album of that year.

I have since been patiently waiting for a follow up to Post-War.  It has not happened.  Instead, Matt teamed up with actress Zooey Deschanel and formed a band called She & Him.  I cannot complain, because She is hot and Him is M. Ward.  Anyway, the album is not bad.  Above is the first video.
