She & Him, the acclaimed twosome of M.Ward and Zooey Deschanel are known for the stylish arrangements, sophisticated interpretations, and sharply drawn originals they have perfected across their exceedingly fruitful six-album, 14-year collaboration. Now, with 'Melt Away: A Tribute to Brian Wilson', their seventh full-length release, the duo has crafted a love letter to '60s-era Southern California-inspired pop that stands on its own as a defining musical achievement. Produced by M.Ward and mixed by Tom Schick (Wilco, Norah Jones, Iron and Wine), 'Melt Away: A Tribute to Brian Wilson' features an abundance of smartly chosen Wilson/Beach Boys compositions, some universally beloved and others a little less familiar. All of them though, whether ingrained in your soul or hearing for the first time, share a flair for the dramatic.
