I really enjoyed She & Him’s debut album, Volume One, but didn’t get into its follow-up (Volume Two, naturally). Hearing today’s random selection, I’m not sure why.
This is the same kind of retro-catchy ear candy that M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel perfected on their debut. Maybe it’s the sort of thing that quickly wears out its welcome. Maybe listening to too many She & Him albums would be like eating at Johnny Rockets every night.
I knew the duo put out a Christmas album a few years back but I didn’t realize they’d also released another studio album — titled, wait for it, Volume Three — just last year.
That has me curious, but honestly, I know if I get it, it will wind up languishing on the proverbial iTunes shelf next to its siblings.
Let you know what love is like
When I’m keeping all my cards up on the shelf
Where you can’t see them
Why do I always want to keep it to myself?
Taking advantage only works when
You’re leaving someone else out in the dark
(I didn’t mean to)
Running away from you (is just like)
Running a business (and I’m)
Keeping up with the games you play, every day
I’ve gotten over it, over and over again
I’ve gotten over it, over and over again
I’ve gotten sick of it, a lick of it will suck me back in
I’ve gotten over it, over and over again
Meet Me In Montauk 
I like their sound generally. Not sure if I have heard this album, but I like this song.
