Where this album fits

Career context
Phantom Planet's self-titled album, released in January 2004, marked their third full-length effort after the breakout success of 'The Guest' in 2002. At this point, the band was riding the wave of their newfound fame, particularly fueled by the popularity of their song 'California,' which became known as the theme for the TV show 'The OC.' This album showed a maturation in their sound while still retaining their youthful energy.
