“In the Sun” by She & Him
From the album Volume Two (2010)
“In the Sun” by She & Him appears on 7 radio countdowns from 7 stations in 2010. It was first released in 2010 on the album Volume Two. Its best result is #5 on the WEXT Top 97 of 2010. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #232 alternative song of 2010.
Zooey Deschanel wrote "In the Sun" for Volume Two, the second She & Him album, and in early 2010 the duo sent it out as the record's first single, ahead of the album itself, after Pitchfork had posted it online. It started life as a different animal: Deschanel had it built on a vintage jazz chord sequence with a small chromatic twist, at a slower pace, until M. Ward asked in the studio why they didn't put a Bee Gees beat on it, and the song sprang to life in a way she hadn't expected.
Tilly and the Wall sing backing vocals, Ward produced, Mike Coykendall engineered and Mike Mogis mixed it, and the duo played it on the Late Show with David Letterman in April 2010 to push the new album.
