The Kills veiled threat...
The Kills come back for more with new album Midnight Boom and they've discovered the ol' poppy poppy by adding some boopy- boppy.

Now indie pixie Zooey Deschanel is prepping to finally release her collab with M. Ward, Volume 1, under the band name She and Him.
Unlike Scarlett's record, Zooey's songs are mostly originals though she does slip a Beatles and a Smokey Robinson cover in. Ward, who has released several critically acclaimed albums of atmospheric indie roots-folk heard Deschanel's demos and offered to collaborate.
Here's She and Him live doing "Lonesome Town"...Deschanel has a very impressive voice:
