Sometimes poppy, sometimes folky, Coconut Records is a solo project started by, drummer of Phantom Planet and actor, Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore, I Heart Huckabees, and The Darjeeling Limited). He plays the majority of the instruments on one hand while juggling his acting career in the other. Quite the multi-tasker :)!

Nighttiming was an instant win for me. The entire album is composed of a little bit of everything, so it manages to keep it appealing to all audiences. Schwartzman is a “jack of all trades” kind of guy who can make anything sound good. From country songs like “Mama” to love songs like “Easy Girl.” “West Coast” screams out INSTANT HIT with lyrics that bring out your inner-apathy, but a melody that fits any mood you’re in.

Nighttiming’s tempo is always calm, its beat always smooth, and its vocals always crisp. Simply put, the album is like a swiss-army knife. It has a small amount of everything put into one compact size for your enjoyment. Not feeling well? Need something to dance to? Feel like going back home to the west coast? Coconut Records has you covered.
