The first single from She & Him’s (Zooey Deschanel being She, and M. Ward being Him) sophomore album, Volume Two, has been released online for free (how nice of them!) and thankfully, it doesn’t disappoint.
Nothing about In the Sun indicates a massive shift from the sunny, folksy upbeat tracks of Volume One, but it’s catchy and has a bit of a group singalong bit in the chorus which is always alright with me.
The summery sounds of this song may not match the weather outside right now, but between this and my copy of (500) Days of Summer, June doesn’t seem entirely out of reach.
Volume Two is released on 23rd March in the US, and 5th April in the UK

Wow. Hard to believe, but yes, that futuristic Barbie girl above is indie darling Zooey Deschanel, as photographed for the latest Absolut Vodka campaign.
Each photo, taken by fashion photographer Ellen Von Unwerth, is themed around a different vodka cocktail. Zooey’s, for example, is based on the Cosmopolitan cocktail:
In the ABSOLUT Cosmo ad, Deschanel adds a science-fiction flair to the traditional ABSOLUT® CITRON cocktail in a retro-hip yet modern lounge as she plays the role of a “cosmo”-naut.
Three other photos from the campaign feature Kate Beckinsale, focusing on cocktails Bloody Mary, Tonic Twist and Crush.
Personally I’d have liked to see Zooey in all four, but there ya go.

Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have filmed a parody of “Sid and Nancy” for Cinemash by retracing a scene from their forthcoming indie rom com “(500) Days of Summer“. Zooey takes on the role of Sid (with a dodgy but hilarious English accent) while Joseph steals the show with his priceless take on needy Nancy. Brilliant.
