Volume One by She & Him
Volume One is an album by She & Him, released in 2008. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 3 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Sentimental Heart”, on 3 lists with a best position of #95.
Volume One, the first album by She & Him, came out on Merge on March 18, 2008, and it pairs actress and songwriter Zooey Deschanel with guitarist and producer M. Ward. She sings and plays piano and ukulele, he handles the guitars and the production, and together they make sweet, retro, sun-dappled indie pop, all lovelorn melodies and warm, analog twang, like a girl-group record dusted off from a thrift-store bin.
It was a sleeper: debuting at 81 on the Billboard charts, climbing to 71 the next week, and eventually passing 300,000 copies in the US. Paste named it the album of the year, it came 30th in the Pazz & Jop poll, and "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" got two videos, the second made with the team behind (500) Days of Summer, co-stars Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt included. "Sentimental Heart" is its most wistful moment.
