In the Sun with She & Him


This Sunday marks one of my favorite days of the year: the start of Daylight Saving Time, when the clocks move forward an hour and the sun goes down an hour later.

Getting a jump on forthcoming sunny days are She & Him. The duo of Hollywood ingĂ©nue Zooey Deschanel and alterna-svengali/guitar wizard M. Ward are perhaps the sunniest pop group on the planet right now. And their new single, “In the Sun” from their forthcoming Merge record Volume Two (which comes out March 23) is surely their sunniest yet. (Click on the video to see it in its full-screen glory.)


Zooey & William Shatner may be the only actors who are equally talented in the realms of music & film. Zooey has a refreshingly honest voice and a similar presence onscreen. Check out her charming romantic comedy (500) Days of Summer, one of the best films of 2009. Zooey’s relentlessly sunny disposition and lovely exterior masks an underbelly of melancholy that makes her the living female embodiment of a song by The Smiths.


Speaking of The Smiths, you should make a point of downloading She & Him's lovely, melancholy cover of Morrissey/Marr's "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" from the (500) Days of Summer soundtrack.


Remember, fall back & spring ahead!
