Those of you who know me well are probably aware of my negative attitude towards the one-man (band?), Owl City. I just don't see what the big deal about this (band?) is. Plus, it sounds pretty dang similar to The Postal Service (which is one of my favorite bands, so maybe that's why I care so much about not caring about Owl City?)
All this to say, I have discovered a one-man (band!) whose music I majorly enjoy: Coconut Records. This summer I have been exploring my love for Wes Anderson movies as well as Jason Schwartzman, who has been in many of Wes' films (Rushmore, The Darjeeling Limited, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and more). I was watching a youtube video in which the actor and director were discussing their favorite music and movies, and Jason mentioned his band. I looked up Coconut Records and FELL IN LOVE. It is currently my favorite band.
Here's some ear candy for you:
West Coast
Minding My Own Business
Any Fun
