She & Him - Don't Look Back
She & Him - Don’t Look Back from Merge Records on Vimeo.
Check out the obviously wonderful video for She & Him’s ‘Don’t Look Back’ off their latest album She & Him Volume 2. The album is full of this early 60’s pop sound that She & Him are now famous for, and as far as I’m concerned is well worth buying.

Best Coast-Sunny Adventure

What’s so fantastic, is the nostalgic, R&B Rock & Roll Sound to this track. I wasn’t sure Saadiq could reach the heights he got to on The Way I See It, hearing this gets me awfully...
