About the Album: She & Him are back with a new album – their first in three years. The follow up to 2010’s Volume 2 from the duo clocks in at a 14 tracks — 11 Deschanel originals and three covers. The album was produced by M. Ward and recorded in Los Angeles, Portland, and New York. A press release indicates, 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.” Collaborations include NRBQ’s Joey Spampinato, Mike Watt, Tilly and the Wall, Pierre de Reeder from Rilo Kiley, and Tom Hagerman from Devotchka. The duo hit the road in June to promote the new record. They will play shows with Emmylou Harris and Camera Obscura.

Track Spotlight: “Never Wanted Your Love” may be a reference to Deschanel’s ex-husband or it may not be…either way it will be the breakup tune of the summer.
