Free Music Notes for She & Him - Volume Two
Free Music Review: Breezy, melodic music for a summer's afternoon.
Hit: 5 Stars
She & Him are the folk equivalent of easy listening, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. Their songs aren't necessarily that complicated (though that's just a general rule, not an absolute); contain catchy melodies and soft-yet-heartfelt vocals; and tend to bring a smile to your face, even when pursuing the topic of heartbreak and bitterness. M. Ward's retro-vibe keeps things rather interesting (let's face it: without the "flashback factor," these songs would be a tad too forgettable), and Zooey Deschanel provides the mildly-operatic vocals and deceptively-sugary lyrics. The end result is a cocktail that won't hit you very hard, but tastes great going down.
If that's a bit too metaphoric for you (it's even a bit too much for me), let me put it this way: She & Him's VOLUME TWO is like VOLUME ONE, except better. Ward and Deschanel realized their strength lies in catchy melodies and pseudo-simple lyrics, not ill-conceived Kinks covers (though I give them credit for bravery). The songs on TWO tend to be about the various aspects of love, from falling into to falling out of and back around. Deschanel's voice isn't the best for this kind of material, but after the somewhat-mumbled beginning lyrics of "Thieves," one tends to forget that; and by the time the album closes with the lullaby "If You Can't Sleep," we're completely enraptured.
She & Him's VOLUME TWO is a rather decent pop record, with some definite retro throwbacks, and a quasi-folk sensibility. It isn't perhaps the greatest record out there, but damned if it isn't a breath of fresh air in this world of Auto-Tune and songs about umbrellas (I'm looking at you, whatever pop pop songstress did that tune). Deschanel and Ward offer a glimpse into musical history, while exploring the possibilities of the present. And if that, too, is too metaphorical for you, then just listen to the album and come up with your own way to praise it.
She & Him - Volume Two Poster
Music for an eternal springtime - where the saddest of songs feel as warm as sun showers; the rain may be coming down, but somewhere nearby, everything looks bright. ZOOEY DESCHANEL & M. WARD are as comfortable & complementary a musical pair as Les Paul & Mary Ford. Bittersweet, dreamy, & romantic!Alternative Rock Music CDs
