I know most here have heard it in full now, but for those, like me, who want it on their devices in high quality sound - it is there for purchase. I am a big She and Him fan and this tune is working for me. Charming stuff.

It's on Spotify too. I actually like Zooey Deschanel's singing here. Brian's voice sounds a little strange due to some processing or maybe just the way it was mixed, I'm not sure. The tune itself is pretty nice I think.

Sounds like they just copied Brian singing 'On the Island' once and repeated it over and over again.
...which kind of sounds like a bad thing, but I actually also really like this track! It's got the friends vibe, only with Zooey Deschanel singing. Very relaxing.

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.

I like it! Nothing offensive, nothing too cheesy. Zoey turns in a great performance, I think. Cute song! I bet it was fun to put together. They don't all have to be epic.

It's a nice song but it's probably the song on the album to feature Brian's vocals the least. He's more of a backup singer than a duet partner here.

What a great video, really creative! Wasn't somebody complaining that Brian's videos weren't interesting enough? They'd probably enjoy this one!

To me, "On the Island" is sounding like the child of "Diamond Head" and "The Private Life of Bill and Sue".
That's a good thing. As is the song.

She can really sing, and cute too. I am a huge fan of She and Him. I saw them in Milwaukee a few years ago. Great concert.

She & Him are one of my favourite new groups. Not many artists make records like theirs these days, super 60s sounding with great arrangements and production.

That's it, I'm gonna say it, this is the best music video ever associated with the Beach Boys or Brian Wilson brand!!!!!!! (ok maybe second best after Kokomo )

I think that both the song and video are really refreshing. Even though Brian is only in the background, once again the tune gets in your head (mine anyway) really quick and stays there. What Brian album has ever done that to date... Had so many catchy tracks.
And that video is very artistic. So familiar and so brand new... Just like Brian creations.

Nice song. Seems the video really took off on that "space bossa nova" description that someone (I can't remember who) made. Do you guys hear anything space-related in the song itself? i don't. It makes for an interesting element in the video though.

Never mind. The quote is "space-age". That makes sense.
