Phantom Planet is the self-titled third studio album by the American rock band Phantom Planet, released on January 6, 2004. The album marked a change in the band's sound, shifting from radio-friendly pop rock to garage rock, comparable to the sound of the Strokes. Produced by Dave Fridmann, it is their first album to feature drummer Jeff Conrad (ex-Big City Rock).
During the recording of the album, drummer and co-founder Jason Schwartzman left the band to pursue his acting career.
Songs
The song "By the Bed" is about Alex's grandmother, and what she told him on her deathbed, and the song "Jabberjaw" deals with anger and frustration.
