ALBUM

Volume 3 (2013)

Their third studio album leans into Deschanel's songwriting with a mix of originals and covers, including a take on Blondie's 'Sunday Girl'. Ward again produces, filling the record with handclaps, guest vocalists, and his own guitar work, giving it the breezy, sun-warmed feel the duo had built their sound around.
