Record of the Day: She & Him - Take it Back

I seem to be having a dreary folk band weeks (Smiths, Belle & Sebastian) so I thought I'd just go with it. I just love this band and not just because it's Zooey Deschanel's (althought that makes me very happy). I know I've talked about them before but they're just so good - this song in particular I could fall asleep to every night. All of their songs are simple and quaint, with some on the album Volume One even doing a little throwback to the 50s and 60s (Sweet Darlin' and I Was Made For You). Her voice is original and probably not to everyone's taste but if you like the whole folk-turned-mainstream thing people seem to have going on at the moment (Mumford, Laura Marling etc) then you'll enjoy this.
