As a former concert producer, music business manager, and entertainment Website publisher, I am thoroughly impressed with Zooey and Matt's work on this album. Not only is Matt WAAAAAY talented, he's also the perfect compliment to Zooey's fun personality, equally brilliant stage presence, refreshing vocals, and heritage-infused melodies. Thanks to Merge for supporting this talented duo (and their band). I will certainly be buying this CD for my 9 yr. old daughter (errr...and myself!).
Her music is so simple at heart, the lyrics are very predictable and the music it self is very repetitive, but It sounds great somehow. Like there's some sort of nostalgia to it and I love it.
i like how m. ward walks into the picture right when than piano part comes in that totally makes its sound like one of his songs. its like he has his own theme within in a song.
I have always liked Zooey since the first time I seen her on Almost Famous. When I found out she was doing music I got excited! I love this song and I can't wait till I listen to the rest of the album!!
I saw these two last night in New York at Terminal 5. They were EXCELLENT! Wow, this girl has such a voice! I really want to see her cover Nina Simone. M. Ward is crafty with his tools! Great great performance.
Both the video and the music are fabulous. I really like Zooey's voice, it's such a throwback style. Much better than many of today's singers! The album is great.
Wow, just got the album and came to see this video. Glad I looked this girl up. Been reading hitchikers guide to the galaxy and remembered she played Trillian in the movie...started reading up on her. Now, thanks to wikipedia and a little digging I have the album. :D
i love this video and her voice she sings in the new guy and yes man and so many other movies but sounds totally different! so much better than many other musicians and actress turned singers she is amazing
I should add that I love the look on her face when she throws the axe and decapitates herself four times over. I love how somewhat twisted yet funny this video is. I wonder how much of it was her ideas? She has a cool sense of humor so I wouldn't be surprised.
