My New Favorite Group - She & Him - Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree

I have found a new group - She and Him is an American Indie Duo consisting of Zooey Deschanel (vocals, piano and ukelele) M. Ward (guitar and production). Ward, having heard Deschanel sing previously in the film Elf, was surprised to learn that she wrote songs herself, but hadn't pursued a career in music. Deschanel comments in an interview with Venus Zine, “I always thought I would be able to sing and act, but at a certain point, it became difficult for me to share the music part. So I was writing a ton of music, but not really doing anything with it. I didn’t really know exactly who to collaborate with ... until I met Matt, and everything seemed to fall into place.”[7] Deschanel had actually done years' worth of home demos, but was shy about becoming a big-name celebrity.[8] On a whim, she decided to send them to Ward.[6] Ward called her a short time later, telling her that he would like to record her songs properly, and their band She & Him was formed.[citation needed] Deschanel said in an interview: "I always have loved music, ever since I was really little. I just loved to sing." (wikipedia). They just came out with a christmas album and I bought it this past Christmas - it was the hit of the new year's eve party that I went to. Everyone loved their voices. I also got a second album of theirs.

You should definitely give them a try.
