The song that has been on my brain the most this week:

- “Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?,” She & Him, from the duo’s 2008 debut album “Volume One.”

Perhaps its the song’s irresistible bounce, maybe its Zooey Deschanel’s crystalline vocals, or maybe its sheer anticipation, but I’ve had this song pleasantly looping through my head for the past few days.

The anticipation comes in knowing that She & Him, the indie folk duo of Deschanel (vocals, piano, banjo) and M. Ward (guitar, production), is releasing its sophomore album, appropriately titled “Volume Two,” on March 23. Excitement!
