Brian Stowell’s got a nice post about She & Him’s ‘A Very She & Him Christmas” album and packaging. I’ve actually only seen the final CD in person (vinyl’s in the mail!), so I’ve been scouring the internet looking for images. Thanks for posting Brian, and for taking such nice photos! check out the full set of images here.
If you haven’t picked up a copy of this album yet, oh boy you should. The songs are amazing, and you get a bunch of goodies when you order a physical copy from merge. I’ve been listening to christmas music since this summer when I heard this album was happening, so I can assure you - no. it is not too soon for holiday tunes. Especially these ones, because… well, it’s She & Him, and She & Him is year round awesome, you know?
She & Him | A Very She & Him Christmas | Merge Records | Clear Red | lots of fun things!
A She & Him Christmas record has been long overdue. Fans have been clamoring for a Zooey Deschanel Christmas album ever since her version of Baby, It’s Cold Outside (with Leon Redbone) in the Christmas classic Elf. I can’t comment on the content of this record yet because I try not to listen to Christmas music before Thanksgiving. At the very least, no Christmas music before Halloween. Which means I’ll probably break down on November 1st and play this record daily until Valentine’s Day.
However, the details on this package are perfect. Included with the record is a digital download card, She & Him wrapping paper, a Christmas card that includes the tracklisting, and a poster. The vinyl itself is clear(ly) red. And my favorite - the inner sleeve, made of cardstock and printed with snowflakes. The record itself is definitely less than 140 gram, very flimsy, which is a bit disappointing. I guess I’ll find out soon how it holds up.
You can order the record from Merge Records (free shipping!) or pick it up in pretty much every store ever now.
