Zooey D and M Ward

So I just saw the video for one of the songs off the new She & Him album, Volume Two. So cute, although as much as I love (love love) Zooey Deschanel, I think I almost love M. Ward more. There's something about his voice that I just can't put my finger on, its both smooth and husky at the same time and it sounds so good. A fair few of the songs off his most recent album, Hold Time, feature Zooey on them, but are a bit more country-folk and a little less cute.

One of my favourites is his cover of Buddy Holly's Rave On.




(And if you feel like going on a youtube rampage like I just did, there are some good live acoustic versions hanging around.)
