She & Him, currently the hottest game in co-ed indie-pop pronouns, will release their second album, Volume II, this March 23.
In the meantime, they’ve released a preview single, the typically jaunty/melancholy folk ditty “In the Sun”; stream it below:

Awesome! Can’t wait for March 23!
Yup, I will buy. She & Him is such an odd thing – odd and quirky, in a way that should not work at all, but it does, and beautifully. They are a ‘like-it-or=lothe-it” thing, and I’m liking it!
Counting down the days!! Wonderful song!
I’m so excited about this CD!!
Oh my gosh, I was so nervous, but I love it so far! It still sounds like classic “She & Him”, but different at the same time. I cannot wait for the new album!
I will have to pick that cd up!
love this song already!!!! thank you so much!!!!!! she & him are amazing!!!!
I got into She and Him because of M. Ward, but I love Zooey’s voice now, too. Can’t wait until the album comes out!
hells YEAH! Can’t wait to get the new CD…wish they were making a stop in NC again; saw them live back in ’08 it was a great show!
SO excited for new stuff from them!! volume one is still in pretty heavy rotation at my house, and i am confidant that volume two will be just as addiciting!
Aaah! Thank you EW for posting this. I have been dying to hear new stuff from She and Him. I love this band and their quirky, retro style. It just puts a smile on my face when I hear their songs. And I love Zooey Deschanel’s voice.
Ok, I should right a thesis on how it’s impossible not to love Zooey.
Love this song.
