LP - Pedro The Lion - Santa Cruz

1LP - indie coloured vinyl

On Pedro The Lion's new album, "Santa Cruz", critically acclaimed musician David Bazan returns with a new chapter in his ambitious and ongoing recording project - 5 albums devoted to places he lived in throughout his life. "Santa Cruz" is Bazan's third album in the series and follows up where 2022's "Havasu" and 2019's "Phoenix" left off.

Tracks like "Modesto" and "Little Help" foreshadow Bazan's exposure and ultimate love of classic rock 'n' roll records, while songs like "It'll All Work Out" showcase his unique approach to synthesizers, something he introduced with the 2005 self-titled Headphones album. The stories on "Santa Cruz" highlight Bazan’s teenage years and solidifies what he sees as an exposition in a traditional three-act structure.
