Coconut Records

3 years after his departure from Phantom Planet, musician/actor Jason Schwartzman returned to L.A.’s pop-loving circles using the single project Coconut Information. Schwartzman had released Phantom Globe in 1994 and offered as the band’s drummer for pretty much a decade, concurrently furthering his performing career with assignments in Rushmore, CQ, Slackers, S1m0ne, and Spun. The presents elevated once he still left Phantom Planet’s lineup in 2003, but Schwartzman even so had difficulty shaking music from his program. With Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger portion as manufacturer, he decamped to Malibu through the summer months of 2006 to record Nighttiming, managing a lot of the vocal and instrumental responsibilities himself while granting cameos to a slew of fellow stars and music artists (including Kirsten Dunst, Zooey Deschanel, Brandon Boyd, Ben Kenney, and sibling Robert Carmine). The record premiered early the next year on Youthful Baby Information, with the original copies filled with Polaroid photos used by Schwartzman himself.
