Pitchfork sat down with Matt & Zooey to talk about Volume Two and their partnership. Read the whole interview here.

M. Ward: I knew it could be a long-lasting thing after first hearing Zooey’s demos because she had much more than one record’s worth of material, and the quality of the songs was so great.

Zooey Deschanel: And I have so much respect for Matt. As long as he will work with me, I will work with him.

MW: This is where we fist bump. [Zooey and Matt bump fists.] There’s at least one fist bump every interview.
