MP3: She & Him – “The Christmas Waltz”

It’s still over two months until Christmas, but it’s only just over two weeks until She & Him release their Christmas album A Very She & Him Christmas, so I guess we’ll have to start getting in the mood soon. Why not see if the first taste of the album can do it?

Merge are giving away “A Christmas Waltz,” and Zooey Deschanel’s voice is certainly dripping in that sultry warm wintry tone. M. Ward for his part translates the waltz time to the guitar rather than taking up the piano, and we’re left with a very simple little ditty that may not be quite so resonant now, but I can imagine its repeatability come December. Download the song below.
