Los Angeles' Phantom Planet are a melodic indie outfit known for their mix of Beatlesque pop and garage rock. Centered on the vocals of Alex Greenwald, Phantom Planet first gained widespread attention in the 2000s after their song "California" (off 2002's The Guest), was used as the theme song to the prime-time Fox teen soap opera The O.C. It also didn't hurt that their original drummer was Rushmore actor Jason Schwartzman. Following Schwartzman's 2003 departure, the band's sound evolved, shifting from a sunny, piano-based style to a more kinetic brand of garage rock as heard on 2004's Phantom Planet and 2008's Raise the Dead. Following an extended hiatus that found Greenwald working on solo material, Phantom Planet returned with 2020's Devastator.
Members of Phantom Planet include, or have included, Sam Farrar, Jason Schwartzman, Alex Greenwald, Jacques Brautbar, and Jeff Conrad.
