Raise The Dead

RAISE THE DEAD is Phantom Planet's fourth full-length collection,
following 1998's highly-praised PHANTOM PLANET IS MISSING,
2002's THE GUEST (which included the now-classic California,
known far and wide as the theme song to Fox's The O.C.), and 2004's
PHANTOM PLANET. The band started production on the new disc
eighteen months ago, eventually paring down 120 tracks written and
30 tracks recorded to the final 12. The result is an album that effortlessly mixes the band s sixties pop influence with a modern slant that s extremely refreshing in today s increasingly homogenous musical landscape. With RAISE THE DEAD, whether you decide to explore the cultinfluenced iconography or just want to listen to the songs on a purely visceral level, it s hard to deny that it was worth the four year wait
