Indie folk duo, Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward, were back this year with She & Him’s Volume Two.
I really enjoyed this album, especially the cover’s of I Can Here Music and Gonna Get Along Without You Now, as well as the first single, In The Sun, but my favorite track is Don’t Look Back — a song about love that parallels the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Magic Kids is an indie pop rock band from Memphis. They released their debut album, Memphis, this Summer and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m really digging these guys right now and can’t wait to hear more, probably because they remind me of one of my all time favorite bands — The Beach Boys. In fact, The Guardian says “says their songs are so Beach Boys 1963-64, they should only be heard in a Duece Coupe.”
