She & Him Volume 3 Details
Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, aka She & Him, have announced a new album for release this year. Volume 3 is the band’s fourth record, third of primarily original material. It features 11 new compositions by Deschanel, who wrote the record during breaks from filming her sitcom New Girl, as well as three covers. Guest appearances include punk icon Mike Watt, Tilly And The Wall, Pierre De Reeder from Rilo Kiley, and more. While there is no currently no information on which songs are the covers, it might be a fun game to go through the tracklist and take side-bets on which tracks were not penned by the band. Right now, I am banking on a cover of the Karen Chandler staple “Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me,” Blondie’s “Sunday Girl,” and obviously Justin Bieber’s “Baby” with M. Ward filling in for Ludacris. The release will coincide with a summer tour. Check out the tracklist and dates below.
