She & Him have announced a Christmas album.

http://www.sheandhim.com/#/news


I adore She & Him and there had had been lack of news regarding a Volume 3 but wow, they are doing a christmas album and it isn't gonna be your typical christmas album as their music is very Indie and Quirky.

I honestly thought I was the only S&H fan on DS!

This makes me very happy!

I am struggling with "indie and quirky", I am a fan, I have both albums but I find their songwriting and sound very VERY traditional.

They're usually described as 'indie/pop' but I also don't class them as indie. They have a very retro sound and the albums are probably two of the poppiest I own.

Thanks for posting. I'd seen the cover on a website but glad to see that it has been confirmed. Zooey sang Baby It's Cold Outside in Elf a few years ago, it's the first time I heard her sing and I loved her voice instantly.

Here's the scene - http://m.youtube.com/index?desktop_u...?v=bp3UoqOkFJo

Me too. I want Christmas to hurry up now, I just want to play it. I'm going to pre order it. Is it getting a UK release? I tried to preorder it a few weeks ago but it said "US import"... Sometimes US CDs don't play in the UK.

How come? Do US CDs have different "region" type codes like DVDs? Would a US CD play on a UK-bought laptop?

Region 1 doesn't play in the UK, a US import is likely to be region 1

Brilliant. When is it released? I'm gonna buy it nearer to Xmas otherwise I'll listen to it before Xmas and it wouldn't be right.

True. It might play on newer devices though but I'm not 100% sure. I don't have any Region 1 DVDs/CDs I can try.

The first track from the album, 'The Christmas Waltz' was released today!

I really can't wait for this album (though Christmas music isn't usually my kind of thing. She & Him however, is)! Will be playing it full blast in the car in an attempt to convert my family and friends!

To those discussing genre, I think part of She and Him's appeal for me is that it's very hard to define them and their music, and I think that's really what makes them stand out from the crowd (for me, anyway).

EDIT: Also for anyone wanting to buy any US imports, all CDs are universal (by law, I think).

^ ^ I'm listening to it now. I'm bound to feel Xmassy all day now, damn you for posting a link!

I really love Zooey's voice.

I can't wait for Xmas now.

They are not really a commericial type group but i have a feeling this may sell well. Zooe Deschanal is pretty much hot property now. Her TV show has become a ratings success so people are bound to wanna check out her other projects.

I did find She & Him through being a fan of Zooey Deschanel (Or rather through being a fan of Emily Deschanel), but I really hadn't expected to find this kind of music when I first started to listen! The fact that she sings the theme tune to 'New Girl' will hopefully/probably help to push sales.
