She & Him

I love She & Him. Their individual tracks are simply adorable and the duo’s debut full-length – Volume One – tied them all together ever so nicely. Heck, the album dropped nearly two years ago, yet “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?” is still prominently featured in my rotation of uplifting ditties. All this despite the fact that I have the attention span of a gnat.

Granted, it doesn’t hurt that I’ve been crushing on Zooey Deschanel since Almost Famous came out. And yes, I realize that I was only twelve when the aforementioned movie hit theaters. And no, I have no qualms with being madly in love with a woman eight years my superior whom I have never talked to (and with whom I will never be lucky enough to chat).

Anyways. New music. She & Him just released a track off Volume Two called “Thieves.” As expected, it’s beautiful. Also as expected, I can’t help but imagine Zooey singing this to me while we ride bikes on a secluded beach at sunset somewhere in the Southern Hemisphere. Creepy? Maybe. True? Most definitely.
