She and Him

Usually I don't blab about the music I listen to (most of it is old, most of it is not newsworthy). But I really like this band called She and Him, and it must be somehow new since Kexp's song of the day sent me their song "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here" a few days ago in their podcast. You can download said song here or check out the band's myspace here. The singer woman is Zooey Deschanel. You may remember her as the sister in Almost Famous. Her voice is high, almost awkwardly high, and playful, and she sometimes sounds like Joanna Newsom, in a very good way. I kind of love her.
