Release Notes:
Known mostly for his tenure performing as Pedro the
Lion, songwriter David Bazan recently retired the
band moniker to continue making music under his own
name. His debut EP "FEWER MOVING PARTS" finds the
beloved Seattle songwriter [who was recently named
#85 in Paste Magazine's Top 100 Living Songwriters]
roaring back to his creative roots, performing and
recording everything himself in his home studio,
while still expanding his sonic canvas. His
signature songwriting, voice, and melodies are
framed in layered harmonies, multi-tracked guitars,
analog keyboards, and intricate production he was
never able to fully realize with Pedro The Lion. The
10-song EP includes two different versions of five
new Bazan songs. One version is stripped down
acoustic and another version has
full-instrumentation. Acclaimed graphic novelist,
Zak Sally created new original artwork for the EP.
"FEWER MOVING PARTS" is hands-down Bazan's finest
work to date. Bazan will take his act on the road.
First hitting the east coast before heading west
with Micah P Hinson. As the year unfolds Bazan will
huddle up in his Seattle studio to begin work on his
Jade Tree full length, due tentatively to be
released in 2007.
