We told you a little while back that She & Him were set to release a Christmas album this year, and really, it didn’t seem that surprising. After all, Zooey Deschanel fairly successfully brought Christmas cheer in Elf a few years back, so who says she can’t do it in musical form? I don’t, especially when she has M. Ward on her team. For this album they decided to keep it intimate using only Ward’s guitar and Deschanel’s vocals.
The album is going to be called A Very She & Him Christmas and Merge have announced that it comes out on October 25th. This gives you a full two months to get the songs into your head and get you in the Christmas spirit (not long enough for some department stores, it seems). Who knows, maybe some of the best will have even penetrated Christmas carolers’ repertoirs come December.
