After thirteen years of silence, actor Jason Schwartzman might return to one of his oldest passions: music.

In 2007, actor Jason Schwartzman had already made a name for himself, acquiring some impressive film credits in his filmography like Louis XVI in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette and Max Fischer in Wes Anderson's Rushmore, to name a few. Yet, between all the movies, Schwartzman also created Coconut Records: a tiny indie rock solo project that has since garnered cult status. The project would only last three albums — 2007's Nighttiming, 2009's Davy, and the original score for 2012's Goats — before quietly fading into the background of the artist's blossoming film career.

Yesterday, however, Jason Schwartzman seems to be bringing back Coconut Records. In now-deleted videos uploaded to the project's new TikTok account, he posted videos of himself and fellow musician and longtime friend Ben Kweller working on music in the studio, captioning them, "writing new Coconut Records on FaceTime" and "#newalbum, #newmusic and #songwritingprocess", as reported by Far Out. He also sent the following message to viewers on TikTok:

"Me and my friend Ben are writing and recording and we learned that if we get 1,000 followers we will be able to go live on TikTok so please tell your friends so we can turn on the camz when we make the jamz."

Schwartzman first hinted at a possible return to music in a Radio Times profile last year, where he recounted his lifelong love for music, his recent re-connection with Kweller, and his songwriting activity throughout the years. "I’ve been sitting on a bunch of songs for a long time," he told Radio Times, "and I don’t know, I was kind of in a rut." He was allegedly going to scrap it until meeting up with Kweller, saying, "I don’t think I would have made another album, maybe, if I hadn’t connected with Ben right now. Like, it awakened something."

Schwartzman's Coconut Records project consisted of original music written by, composed, and performed by himself. The twee, indie rock debut record Nighttiming also featured vocal performances by notable actors Kirsten Dunst and Zooey Deschanel, and Schwartzman's cousin Roman Coppola designed the album's artwork. 2009's Davy was also an almost completely independent release with the artist returning to write all the songs and perform most of the instruments heard on the record.

The actor has not yet made any official statement concerning the status of a new Coconut Records record.
