She & Him

Though known best as an actress in such films like Almost Famous, Elf and (500) Days of Summer, Zooey Deschanel also shares a deep affinity for music. After being introduced to musician/producer M. Ward in 2006, the two decided to collaborate on songs. The material that was produced--a synthesis of folk, California surf rock and modern indie pop--caught some people off guard, who were surprised that an individual in the acting profession could actually sing.
