Leave Here a Stranger is the sixth studio album by alternative rock band Starflyer 59. Unlike most contemporary albums, it was recorded and mixed in mono as opposed to stereo. Leave Here a Stranger was listed in Los Angeles Times among the Top 10 albums of 2001.[5] HM Magazine characterizes its lyrical content as a concept album about the troubles associated with the life of a recording artist.[3]

In a 2008 interview, Martin stated that the photo featured on the cover art is "supposedly a set shot from [Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace] that a photographer had, [which] we thought had a neat look to it."[6]
