Coconut Records is the painstakingly simple and quirky project of indie god Jason Schwartzman, best known for his films (such as Rushmore, I ♥ Huckabees, The Darjeeling Limited) and as the drummer for Phantom Planet. That aside, Coconut Records just released second album Davy, and I have eaten it right up. No track is longer than 3 minutes, each is a little burst of melancholy with music that lets you bounce along and lyrics that make you ponder whether you'll ever know what to do with your life. It's all of life's questions concerning love and what it is to be young. Plus there is xylophone, which is hard to resist. I bought my album from Amie St, because I hate iTunes. Schwartzman's one artist I don't mind paying full price for.
Start with tracks 'Saint Jerome' and 'I Am Young.'
If you're as indie as you think you are, you'll enjoy Coconut Records.
