She And Him Record Brian Wilson Tribute Album

She and Him's new album is a tribute to legendary songwriter Brian Wilson.
Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward's new record, titled 'Brian Wilson. Melt Away: A Tribute to Brian Wilson', features 14 cover songs infused with their own distinctive style.
The musical duo - who have previously worked with Brian - said: "In the spring of 2020, we started a list of our favourite Brian songs - a very long list.
"We chose songs without any regard to their chart performance. The obscure ones hit us just as hard as the more popular songs - and all are ripe for re-imagining, re-interpreting, and re-inventing.
"Brian writes songs of beauty and loneliness and vulnerability better than anyone - and by sequencing them next to popular songs of confidence and love and fun, it creates a more complete picture of life on earth."
The new album is the band's first record since their 2016 release 'Christmas Party'.
Brian, 79 - who is widely recognised as one of the most significant songwriters of his generation - is a big fan of She and Him's new album.
The acclaimed musician described the harmonies as "beautiful" and admitted to loving the new record.
He said: "Zooey and Matt did such mind-blowing versions of our songs. The harmonies are beautiful and right on. I love this record!"
Zooey and Matt have already filmed a QVC-inspired video for 'Darlin', the first single off the album. In the Lara Jean Gallagher-directed video, the duo are seen trading lead vocals while they try to sell nail polish.
