The next album, Phantom Power , relied less on sound experimentation and proved to be a more stripped-down, back-to-basics recording in contrast to the orchestral Rings Around the World . It was also released as both a CD and DVD album in July 2003, preceded by a single, ” Golden Retriever “, in June (chart No. 13). Although the reviews for the album were generally good and it sold well initially, charting at No. 4, the album broke little new ground by SFA’s standards and the band had fallen out of fashion, receiving little coverage in the music press. Another single, ” Hello Sunshine “, hit No. 31 in October 2003 and was eventually featured on the soundtrack of The O.C. .
