Maroon 5, Phantom Planet & Gomez Form New Band

James and Jesse got together in Hawaii with members of Phantom Planet, Gomez and a few others to create a new band called Operation Aloha. Their self-titled album will be released May 12th.

Allowing themselves to step away from their usual roles and be inspired by bohemian living and a no-constraints approach to songwriting and recording, OPERATION ALOHA experiments with a love of blues inspired rock and Hawaiian folk music, to create a clever collection of songs that draws from the fantasy of escape.

From the charming swagger of "Failure" to the emotional depth of "Phone Booth," to the slack key coloring of "Ika Pono" and the organic harmonies on "Elephant Pharmacy," OPERATION ALOHA is a stunning album of naturalistic pop and a uniquely conceptual work from a group of talented musicians.
