She and Him

I just checked this out...

She and Him is the collaboration of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward. Zooey Deschanel is the actress from Elf, Hitchhikers Guide, and the crazy Alaskan ex-girlfriend from Weeds. We know M. Ward from his 6 solo albums and collaborations and cameos with the likes of Bright Eyes, Jenny Lewis Cat Power, Beth Orton.... They play countried up folksy indie-pop. I can't pinpoint exactly what it is, but this shit sucks. Well maybe that's harsh, but it's pretty uninteresting. I guess sometimes her voice is charming, but the songwriting falls short...

...No, fuck that, her voice sucks. Don't waste your time. This may be a lot more genuine, but still feels like another attempt to surround a popular and pretty, however untalented, actor with superior musicians, and take their flat and uninspired vocals and wrap them up in lush arrangements to try and fool you into thinking it's worth your time (ie Drew Barrymore, Heather Graham, Scarlett Johansen, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan...). It's not. I'm not sure why anyone should care about this album.Watch her movies, ignore her music.

Same goes for Lukas Haas.
