Description

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.
