Known for his tenure performing as Pedro the Lion, songwriter David Bazan retired the band
moniker in 2006 to continue making music under his own name. His solo debut EP “FEWER
MOVING PARTS” finds the beloved Seattle songwriter [who was 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 expanding his sonic canvas. His signature
songwriting, voice, and melodies are framed in layered harmonies, multi-tracked guitars, and
analog keyboards. The 10-song EP includes electric and acoustic versions of five new Bazan
songs. Acclaimed graphic novelist, Zak Sally created new original artwork for the EP.
With a new batch of songs, Bazan hit the road to re-invent himself. Playing solo shows for the
past two years allowed him to change the way he approached his extensive back catalog and
his performances into a much more personal experience for himself and his fans. This new
found intimacy is evident in Bazan’s newest songs. The subject matter is more personal than
ever. His signature third-person narratives have grown into first-person statements about his
own life and experiences.
Bazan recently signed to Seattle-based record label Barsuk Records. He’s currently working on a
new full-length album to be released in early 2009.
