“The Beach Boys felt like home-town heroes,” Zooey Deschanel said, about what drew her to covering Brian Wilson’s songs. “Their music went hand in hand with the Southern California summer.”
. And he goes, “Oh, who did the harmony?” Matt was like, “Zooey did!” I was like, “Ahhhh!” And he was like, “I like them.” Whaaaaat?Z.D.
: I still use the microphone. I use it on everything now; I take it with me to any session I do. I used it on this whole record. I did the movie “Trolls” and I used that mike. Everyone was, like, “Oooh, Zooey with her fancy mike!” I was the only person to bring a mike. I think it’s good for vocalists to understand what sounds good on their voice. Brian picked this microphone for me.
She & Him have recorded a lot of music from different eras, and, intentionally or not, there seems to be a kind of nostalgia inherent to your music together. How does nostalgia function in each of your lives?: I would agree with you. But I also really like the studio sensibility of a bygone era. And the songwriting. I’ll see the credits on a modern pop song, and there are fifteen writers.
You’ve been making music together since 2006. How has your collaborative spirit evolved in that time? What have you learned about each other?: Zooey has taught me so much about recording and so much about vocal harmonies. She’s a bit of an encyclopedia about girl groups.: I had been writing all these songs, and I didn’t know who to trust them with. When I met Matt, I knew he was the person—“is the person who gets me.” Each project is its own thing, and it never feels stale.
