Zooey Deschanel’s New Band!

Zooey Deschanel and Bay Area electro-soul band Von Iva make up “Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome,� a funny — but also quite good! — fake band featured in the upcoming movie Yes Man (which stars Deschanel and, ew, Jim Carey). Of the fictional synth-pop band’s two available tracks, “Yes Man� (which sounds suspiciously like Von Iva’s “Do It�) is more likely to find its way into the film’s closing credits. The cool and shoegaze-y “Sweet Ballad� features hilarious but somehow essentially true lyrics about a woman who doesn’t want to be a “late-night booty call� for the seventh time. She & Him, her fairly fabulous project with M. Ward, wasn’t a fluke — in a way, it was just a start.
