All the hype over there about She & Him is completely justified. Volume One
is a fantastic album. It’s a country-tinged, 60s girl-group pop sounding thing, and it’s all pulled together by Zooey Deschanel’s (yes, that Zooey Deschanel) voice, which is beautiful and pure with just a hint of jazz.

Aquarium Drunkard has posted a fascinating, and beautifully written, obituary to alt-country occasioned by the shuttering of the genre mag No Depression. I was glad to see that it gives proper credit to Whiskeytown and their seminal album Strangers Almanac, which got released in super-duper reissue format today.
