Watch & Listen: From Coconut Records

Filed under: Listen To This > Jason Schwartzman

In between filming movies, Jason Schwartzman makes music.

And, unlike most actors-turned-musicians, his songs don't suck!

Schwartzman makes sweet, simple, breezy tunes that completely beguile us.

Yeah! Coconut Records is the name of the band (or whatever since it is a "solo project"). I've been listening to this song and a couple others for a week or so. I really enjoy it!

well, it's true that he played in phantom planet, but he starred in films before that, like wes anderson's rushmore so technically he was an actor first

Love the song, love the hair… he could do without the beard fuzz, but he has a babyface without it. XD Proof that there's still good music out there…

Nice catchy tune, nothing spectacular. I liked it but it sounds a little too much like the Beatles for me.

Why is this guy a celebrity. He can't act and his music isn't that great.

no no no. I'm sorry - I love indie artists, and I love Jason Schwartzman's acting, but this is not a good song - not lyrically, musically, or production-wise. Am in no way charmed. Stick to movies, please.

Jason, if for some reason you are so bored that you actually are reading all of the comments, I would REALLY like to collaborate with you!!!

Keep the music coming….

42

you can definitely see the Wes Anderson influence here… the shakiness of the camera and the slow focus seems a little contrived though. Oh well, can't have everything in this life.
