She & Him. Volume Two. March 23.

Tue, 05 Jan 2010 12:12:18 -0500

Okay, so I will admit that I was not too keen on She & Him's first release Volume One. However, I absolutely adore Zooey Deschanel (both as a musician and actor) and believe M. Ward to be a musical genius so I will let the first record slide. Their follow-up Volume Two features eleven original tracks and two covers "Ridin' In My Car" by NRBQ and Skeeter Davis' "Gonna Get Along Without You Now."

The tracklisting is as follows:

1. Thieves
2. In the Sun
3. Don't Look Back
4. Ridin' in My Car
5. Lingering Still
6. Me and You
7. Gonna Get Along Without You Now
8. Home
9. I'm Gonna Make It Better
10. Sing
11. Over It Over Again
12. Brand New Shoes
13. If You Can't Sleep
