Volume 3

She & Him, aka Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, will release their third album of original material, entitled Volume 3. It follows Volume Two and their ever popular 2011 Christmas album.

Zooey Deschanel and Matt Ward are a comfortable and complementary musical pair; hearing them again on Volume Three feels like getting together with two old friends.

With fourteen songs—11 Deschanel originals and three covers—Volume 3 is an effortlessly effervescent, bleached-out-in-the-sun pop record. The album features some of the most dynamic, complex songs Deschanel has ever written, allowing for tempo shifts, disco grooves, string arrangements on multiple tracks, and horn flourishes that perfectly suit the She & Him sound. Volume 3 features guest contributions from NRBQ’s Joey Spampinato, Mike Watt, Tilly and the Wall, Pierre de Reeder from Rilo Kiley, and Tom Hagerman from Devotchka. Produced by M Ward.
