She & Him seem to have everything set for the release of their upcoming Volume 2.  From what I can tell, everything from 2 sounds like progress from Volume 1‘s own, unique blend of retro soul and country-crooning.  Zooey’s eyes are as blue as ever and M Ward has added quite a bit of texture and depth to every bit of the album’s first singles.

As she did with Volume 1‘s “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here“, Zooey has put together a fun, playful little music video for the duo’s latest single, “In The Sun”.  Blue eyes, hula hoops, cute girls in plaid skirts . . . it sounds like a re-telling of everyone’s fond-yet-awkward memories of freshman year of high school.
