Once every so often, a person stumbles upon a record/band/or song that captures a moment or period in one's life. While at work I was listening to the radio and I came across a song by the band "Coconut Records." They are an indie-rock band headed by former drummer of Phantom Planet and actor, Jason Schwartzman. Now normally, actor-bands are horrible and bring nothing to the table i.e. Eddie Murphy. But this album is quite different. Its a very eclectic mix of folk, dance, and a easy blend of country soul. Vocally, Schwartzman reminds me of Matt Costa and his songwriting is poignant and introspective.
If you like the Shins, Matt Costa, or even Keane you might enjoy this record. Its classic indie-pop but carries enough substance that it will leave you satisfied.
