 Known for his work fronting the enigmatic rock band Pedro the Lion, David Bazan’s emotionally charged narratives, eye for telling detail, and mournful voice have more in common with J.D. Salinger's "Nine Stories" or Flannery O'Connor's "Wise Blood" than with the usual lyrical slant of popular music. Bazan is a gifted storyteller, weaving parables of spiritual conflict, suburban ennui, and personal surrender into magnetic, well-crafted songs.
Bazan’s solo debut EP fewer moving parts finds the beloved Seattle songwriter 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. The 10-song EP presents five new Bazan songs, each recorded in both stripped-down acoustic and full instrumentation forms.
Bazan is currently working on new material for a full-length release for 2009. A 7" single with a new track, american flags, and a demo of an upcoming album track, is out now.
We are exceedingly pleased to announce that we'll be releasing the debut full-length album by David Bazan, curse your branches, on August 25th, 2009. Known for his work with Pedro The Lion and Headphones, curse your branches is his first full album release under the name David Bazan, following the fewer moving parts EP and the american flags 7" single (the b-side of which is the demo version of curse your branches album track please baby please.) |
 Two good reasons to celebrate next Tuesday, January 20: Inauguration Day for our new US President, and the release of David Bazan's new 7" single, american flags. Out since November 4th digitally, this is the first time these two songs have been available on vinyl. The 7" also comes with a single-use code to download hi-res MP3s. Be sure to order your copy soon, as this is a limited pressing and will be gone fast!

David Bazan was at the Sasquatch festival this past weekend, and he got asked some questions by the A.V. Club — read his hilarious responses here. |
 The concept: gather together a bunch of bands in a house that will be destroyed. All bands play one song each, and perform their song twice, and then the house is destroyed. Capture everything on film, and release it on DVD.
For the Seattle edition, Death Cab's Ben Gibbard gathered together a bunch of great local bands: The Long Winters, Jesse Sykes, David Bazan, Harvey Danger, Tiny Vipers, The Cave Singers, Minus The Bear, Eddie Vedder, Kinski, Spook The Horse, The Can't See, The Blue Scholars, Triumph of Lethargy Skinned To Death, and, of course, himself. Released by Trixie DVD, but available here while supplies last. |
 David Bazan will be touring the US this fall, starting in early September (Minneapolis, MN), and ending in mid-November (Newport, KY), with openers Casiotone for the Painfully Alone in the first half, and All Smiles for the second half.
