She and Him - Volume One

THere isn't a whole lot that I can say about She & Him other than I'd like to hear a whole lot more of "him" than I would "she". The band consists of the incredibly prolific songwriter M. Ward and actress Zooey Deschanel. While the album is good, I feel like it was more of a Zooey Deschanel-fest rather than what the name of the band would suggest. There are moments, too, when the band sounds like a cheap ripoff of Rilo Kiley [ex. "This Is Not A Test" - and is that a kazoo?] Not a bad album though, despite these obvious flaws.
