Darling of indie-cinema, Zooey Deschanel, has broken her
three year musical silence (not counting 2011’s Christmas album) and come back
with Volume 3 from her cutsie alternative two-piece, She & Him.
Still sounding like a slightly less soulful Dusty
Springfield and still getting away with lyrics like, “I could’ve been your girl
and you could’ve been my four-leaf clover”, Zooey’s rationality is not what
she’s loved for, but loved she will still be, having really put her back into
it (along with band-mate M. Ward) for Volume 3, with a whole 14 tracks,
including a perfectly fitting (in vocal terms, NOT attitude) cover of Blondie’s
Sunday Girl.
A little less breezy and a little more mournful than
previous volumes but still ditsy as ever and not out of place as the soundtrack
at a 1950s junior prom, if you’re into that kind of thing.
