Seven More Minutes is the second studio album by American rock band The Rentals. It was released on April 13, 1999, and reached number 23 on Billboard<nowiki/>'s Heatseekers Album chart.
Background and production
Beginning in 1995—the same year that Return of the Rentals was released—The Rentals' frontman, Matt Sharp, began to spend a considerable amount of time in Spain, particularly Barcelona. While there, he began to record lyrics and melodies for songs that would appear on this album on a tape recorder while at nightclubs and parties. For "My Head Is in the Sun", Sharp cowrote the song with Rivers Cuomo, whom he had previously worked with while on the band Weezer.
