On May 7, the band officially released their first song in 11 years, “Balisong”. The song was a reworked version of a track previously released on Greenwald’s solo album. In March 2020, Phantom Planet announced the release of their fifth album Devastator on May 8, 2020, and their first album in 12 years since Raise the Dead (2008). However, the album was delayed to June 19, due to the then- COVID-19 pandemic . It was later pushed again one day earlier June 18, as a way of showing respect and support to the Black Lives Matter movement. Sometime after 2024, longtime drummer Jeff Conrad quietly left the band and was replaced by Andrew Parker, having been a member of Robinson’s side project Fist Fright and an occasional touring drummer with the band since 2022. Since 2022, Chris Lorentz has filled in for Farrar on bass on select tour dates when he is performing with Maroon 5.
