Our favorite actor/musician (and former Phantom Planet/one-time Kings of Convenience drummer) Jason Schwartzman‘s new Coconut Records album Davy is coming out January 13, and he has decided to pre-release one of the songs, “Microphone”. You can download it for free on Amie Street – for every download they donate 1 dollar to the Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation.
Coconut Records’ debut album, Nighttiming, received high accolades in the indie community, and rightfully so. It’s a nice mix of swirling keys and jangly guitars with a groovy feel, creating an atmospheric listen. And Schwartzman’s nasal voice works well with the sound. Give these songs a listen, some of you will like them, some of you won’t, but just know: I try to please.
