“There’s been no shortage of similar homages to the Beach Boys icon over the decades, but it’s the charm and evident love for Wilson’s work that helps She & Him’s latest to really shine.” — Rolling Stone UK

“A dreamy 14-track album of covers, including a track featuring Wilson himself.” — VULTURE

“They have recorded a sublime covers album, Melt Away, which dives deep into Wilson’s back catalogue, drawing on tracks from across his storied career.” — The Sun . 5

“A Brian Wilson tribute is hardly the most novel of notions, but for their seventh album, She & Him have taken it beyond mere homage.” — MOJO ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

“Heavenly retro pop.” — The Mirror

She & Him’s seventh studio album is a loving, LP-length tribute to one of the greatest living American songwriters and singers, Brian Wilson. Melt Away: A Tribute to Brian Wilson finds Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward diving deep into the legendary artist’s extensive songbook, offering fascinating and delectable new spins on time-honored classics and overlooked gems alike. These fourteen covers are infused with the familiar magic that She & Him fans know and love, opening a new window into Wilson’s iconic catalog. Wilson even features on a song with Zooey and M. Ward for the album, “Do It Again.” The band have enjoyed a friendship, and mutual appreciation, with Wilson over the years and She & Him was previously a guest vocalist on his 2015 album, No Pier Pressure. 

“In the spring of 2020, we started a list of our favorite Brian songs — a very long list,” the duo explains. “We chose songs without any regard to their chart performance. The obscure ones hit us just as hard as the more popular songs — and all are ripe for re-imagining, re-interpreting, and re-inventing. Brian writes songs of beauty and loneliness and vulnerability better than anyone — and by sequencing them next to popular songs of confidence and love and fun, it creates a more complete picture of life on earth.

Brian Wilson comments on ‘Melt Away:

Zooey and Matt did such mind-blowing versions of our songs. The harmonies are beautiful and right on. I love this record!”
