313 is the fourth album released by composer Phideaux Xavier.

Xavier and his band of musicians had done three well rehearsed, well conceived albums, and decided to make an "album in a day".[ citation needed ]

On March 13, 2004, all of Phideaux Xavier's musicians met in Los Angeles for an unrehearsed recording session. During that day, they composed and recorded 13 songs; however, the final results were deemed to be nothing more than embryonic, and those sessions were shelved until after the album Chupacabras was released. In 2005, Xavier and Gabriel Moffat polished up the recordings, and on March 13, 2006, released the album.

The cover artwork for this album was by Margie Schnibbe, another childhood friend of Phideaux Xavier's.
