Just when you thought that Zooey Deschanel couldn't be anymore adorable, they went ahead and turned her into a cartoon in order to create a music video for She & Him's take on the holiday classic Baby, It's Cold Outside from last year's A Very She & Him Christmas . Both Zooey and Matt get the animated treatment in this vintage looking clip that has Zooey going to Kathy Bates in Misery length extremes to keep Matt inside with her on a snowy winter's day. Let's check it out... [...]

She & Him spread Christmas cheer She & Him, the duo of actress (part-time singer) Zooey Deschanel and indie singer/songwriter M. Ward, have shown an appreciation for Christmas in the past. They made an awful album celebrating the holiday just last year. Now the duo have released an animated video for their cover [...]

I am far from in the Christmas spirit but things like this help me get there little by little. It's a video from She & Him for their track "Baby, It's Cold Outside" which featured on last year's A Very She & Him Christmas. The video sees an animated Zooey getting all hot and flustered in a winter cabin over band mate M. Ward. Check it out above.

She & Him - Zooey Deschanel (She) & M. Ward (Him) have premiered a sweet little animated video on VEVO for their holiday song "Baby, It's Cold Outside," one of the 12 songs featured on their Christmas album, A Very She & Him Christmas (Merge Records). Directed by Elliot Dear , the video plays off the back and forth vocals of the song, which is destined to be a new holiday favorite. She & Him - [...]

Nuevo video de She & Him ¿Recuerdan el disco navideño que She & Him lanzó el año pasado? Pues ahora el dúo regresa con un video animado para una de las canciones que ahí aparecen. Se trata de "Baby, It's Cold Outside" , donde el personaje animado de M. Ward intenta escapar de las garras de la chica animada que representa a Zooey Deschanel . Véanlo a continuación.

Zooey Deschanel came in at No. 7 on the list of Your Top 20 Indie Rock Crushes Of 2012 , probably the most hotly debated of any Gummy Awards category this year. And based on the comments I read, Deschanel was the most divisive figure on that list. I guess I can see why: She's got this cloying, precious, twee thing going on - plus Ben Gibbard - but man, I'm deep into a New Girl marathon, and after refusing to watch that show for a season and a half, I'm all of a sudden [...]

Editor's note (Allan): This post was completed in 2010 and was kept private out of error. 2009 was kind of a shit year in terms of my ability to catch up with current music.  It was a year of listening to old favourites, staring blankly at iTunes expecting something to change---now I don't know what is to blame; my inability to keep up at the lightning speed changes of this ridiculously technologically inclined era of music bloggers, or the ongoing power struggle for download bandwidth that was ultimately won by porn over music, or the fact [...]

"He continues to be masterful at funnelling exquisite new wine into dusty old bottles..." M. Ward | A Wasteland Companion In a sense M. Ward is a victim of his own success. With his success as a prolific producer and collaborator meaning many a fingers are in many a pie, his own solo work has been rather sidelined of late. Since his last long-player was released in early 2009, he has put out a second volume of his Grammy-nominated yet opinion-dividing She & Him project with actress Zooey Deschanel (followed by last year's collection [...]

Our friends over at NPR seem to always have the heads up on new albums and this week is no different. M. Ward's highly anticipated A Wasteland Companion is due out April 10th, but you can give the whole thing a spin right here . After just one listen it's clear that this is the Ward we have come to know and love - melodic, grim at times, and always smooth, I'll be giving this one another spin for sure. As if that wasn't enough NPR is also streaming Of Monsters and Men's debut [...]

M. Ward is back! Free of Zooey and his Bright Eyes co-conspirators, his new album,  A Wasteland Companion, comes to us in April. A jaunty contrast to "The First Time I Ran Away," the album's sleepy first single, "Primitive Girl" shows off Ward's versatility with a sound strikingly reminiscent of James' iconic 1993 hit, "Laid." Enjoy the playful ode to a mysterious primordial dame below. STREAM: M. Ward - "Primitive Girl"

Tweet Listen to M. Ward 's new song "Primitive Girl" below, taken from the album "A Wasteland Companion" .

Probably better known as the "Him" half, in ZoZo 's musical side-project, She & Him , (and as a member of Monsters of Folk ), M. Ward makes a welcome return to the familiar fields of his more soothing self. Have a listen below to the acoustic calypso vibes of 'The First Time I Ran Away', the opening taste of his seventh solo album, A Wasteland Companion , set to drop April 10th via Bella Union , his first for the label.

Sin embargo, el músico también ha formado parte de agrupaciones Monsters of Folk y tiene asimismo una carrera solista, a la que ahora ha decidido dedicarle tiempo aprovechando un descanso de sus demás obligaciones.
