Anyone listened to this? It's M.Ward and Zooey Deschanel, and it piddles all over Scarlett Johnannson's album. Her voice has quite a classic feel to it, with tiny similarities to Joanna Newsom in parts (although nowhere near as lovely). Despite its alt-countryish pedigree, it could make a great soundtrack to a 70s NYC-based film. Ah this has cheered me up, all the miserabalists on the social board need to take a listen!
I saw them at SxSW
and they were one of my highlights, gorgeous voice with great melodies and she is sexy as fuck!
I've heard one song
and really liked it. I need to get the album.
I saw her in Elf
bf
It makes me think of an alt country version of Tuesday Weld's single.

I get the impression whoever wrote the melodies had to be fairly conservative to allow for her bleaty and slow moving voice
thanks, bye!
she wrote all the songs herself
according to the liner notes.
Heard good things
Listening now...
This is right up my street, is it out yet?
New music I actually like, who'd have thought?
It's out on Monday
although you can get it on import. Listening again, the harmonies are lovely.
the import comes in a pretty digipack as well.
Mine didn't
:(
Not fair.
UK version
comes in a digipack too :)
Now I'm angry.
.
yes
it's a lovely, lovely record <3
.
not even a tenth as good as m wards own stuff though, this isnt even him really, could be anyone on guitar
tiny bit hit and miss,
some tracks are beautifully retro and cool, but a few towards the latter part of the album are just a little off.
really?
I have been listening to this album consistently for the last couple of months, and it brilliant throughout. Then again I like this sort of sleepy music.
I like this a lot
ZOOEY <3
It's brilliant.
Really brilliant.
Can we have a new album from M. Ward though please? PLEASE!
Despite the hotness of the singer
this actually blows goats.
If they were buskers, you wouldn't throw coins at them.
^clearly has defective ears
It's my favourite album of the year.
I saw them twice at SXSW this year...

They're very good live but Zooey is strangely lacking in stage presence.
