Zooey Deschanel's voice is haunting - simple and old fashioned. I love listening to her sing, perhaps more than I like watching her on screen. And yet, every time she does a radio interview with her musical collaborator M.Ward (who happens to be the other half of her duo She and Him), M.Ward doesn't do much talking. Which is a shame, because, well... Zooey is kind of an awkward interview.
But hearing veteran producer Steve Lillywhite give us the post-production play-by-play is pretty interesting. He's seen everyone from U2 to The Pogues waltz through his studio and his take on this actress-turned-chaunteuse is spot on. She does have a beautiful voice. She is a little shy. But that doesn't stop me from loving She and Him's new album (and coveting her incredible hair).
