Volume One

She & Him

Sun-drenched indie pop that feels like a vintage postcard. Warm 60s harmonies and twangy guitars for slow Sunday mornings and nostalgic daydreams.

March 18, 2008 · Merge Records

A sun-drenched, nostalgic embrace that feels like a warm memory of a 1960s summer.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, percussive piano chords that kick off Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? with 60s swagger.
The lush, multi-tracked vocal harmonies on I Was Made for You that evoke the Ronettes.
The way the lap steel guitar sighs through the melancholic spaces of Change Is Hard.
