Music Video: Watch She & Him in Black & White in "Thieves"

BuzzSugar — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 12:15:19 PDT

She & Him has always had a retro sound, but their latest music video for "Thieves" looks like it was plucked from a bygone era, too. The footage is shot almost silent film-style with the chintzy special effects to match. It's a cute concept, though the dark tones seem more suited to someone like The Dead Weather. Do you agree? Or are you smitten with it, grainy images and all? Watch when you

Your Coachella Shortlist: Friday's Standout Shows

BuzzSugar — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 04:01:34 PDT

Have you been keeping tabs on me on Twitter? If so, then you already know that I'm at Coachella this weekend to check out all of the music acts, thanks to H&M USA. I just wrapped up my first day, and man, what a great way to close out my evening. Jay-Z got the crowd jumping with a special guest (and fireworks!), but he's not the only crowd-pleaser. Here's a look at five acts from Friday that were audience favorites. Check in later as I recap more festival highlights!

What to Download: New Music Today

BuzzSugar — Tue, 23 Mar 2010 15:30:30 PDT

Ready for some new sunshiney Spring tunes? Rejoice, because today brings some great music releases to get you in the spirit. Put these three at the top of your must-listen list! (And don't forget to check out the Music Review Group. If you submit your own writeup, I may even feature your thoughts on the site!)

Vol. 1 redux: If you were a fan of She & Him's (aka Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward) debut, then you'll be pleased as punch for their follow-up, appropriately titled Volume 2. Picking up where they left off, it's full of simplistic, '60s-era ditties. Deschanel bops along on the single "In the Sun" (and in its adorable video), but even on the more melancholy "Thieves," she still retains her sweetness. While there's nothing new here, you're sure to hum along to all the oooohs and ba-da-das.

Dancing queen: Yes, that's an ABBA reference. Like that group, Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory are bringing back the days of disco on their latest, Head First. I've already given you a peek at single "Rocket," and it's still the standout here. My other favorites include "Alive," which at times feels reminiscent of Mika, and "Shiny and Warm," where Goldfrapp breathily coos along with a come-hither voice. As a whole, the album is light, electro-pop that floats and zings. Put on your best pair of sparkly, spandex pants and turn it up.

One more album to check out when you

read more. Hall & Oates 2.0: Thanks to a recent send-up in She's Out of My League and a pivotal scene in (500) Days of Summer, '70s band Hall & Oates is relevant once more. Now, The Bird and the Bee take their own spin with Interpreting the Masters, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Daryl Hall and John Oates. It's an album of covers with Bird and the Bee touches - electronic beeps, hand claps, and a more futuristic sound - which pretty much sticks to the creators' original songs. The result is breezy and upbeat, but not as creative as might be expected from such a fun-sounding project. Even so, "I Can't Go For That" or "Maneater" would make for playful car tunes, along with the one original track here, "Heard It on the Radio."

BuzzSugar's Must Haves For March

February has come and gone, taking its entertainment hits and misses with it, but March looks even sunnier (and it's not just the promise of Spring). With so many highly anticipated movies, music, and TV, it was hard to narrow it down to just a few, but here they are - my must haves for the new month.

New Music: Step Into the Sun With She & Him

BuzzSugar — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 11:30:16 PST

Just yesterday we got word that Zooey Deschanel will star in a new HBO series, but first she's got an album to promote. Though She & Him Volume 2 won't hit us until March 23rd, there's some good news for fans of the Deschanel/M. Ward collaboration: the first single has been leaked!

"In the Sun" is just what we've come to expect from the indie duo; Zooey Deschanel's soft, girlish voice sings over M. Ward's melodic tune on the piano and guitar. Vocally, we don't hear any of the "him," but Zooey gets a boost from special guest Tilly & the Wall. The tune is upbeat and soothing (if not just a little forgettable), and I'm still pretty eager to get my hands on the full album. To give it a listen for yourself, just
