Jason Schwartzman's back in the music biz, it seems, under the moniker of Coconut Records. He bops around genres quite a bit on his debut but it's be safe to consider his stuff rock and/or pop. He's got a little electronic disco tune, a song that would've fit perfectly on any one of Phantom Planet's discs, and -- most surprisingly -- some kick ass anthemic rock a la Weezer.The disc appears to only be available as a download (easiest sources: eMusic and iTunes) so I'm guessing Schwartzman is going the whole one-man-band thing 100% solo and sans label (for the time being), which I think is laudable. This is especially noteworthy since his disc isn't just the self-indulgent work of yet another actor turned musician; instead Coconut Records' debut is a fine work by a musician occasionally detoured by the odd acting gig.
