She & Him, the astounding duo comprised of singer/actress Zooey Deschanel (She) and singer M.Ward (Him), has announced the follow-up to Volume One. 
Volume Two promises to be “bigger, bolder and more beautiful.” Deschanel took care of the vocals, while musician extraordinare M. Ward took care of the instrumental arrangements. Still present are Ward’s signature guitar lines saturated with swelling phrases from the strings.
