The Lions are Loose!
Fans grieved when Pedro the Lion retired earlier this year. Devotees of the David Bazan and Tim Walsh pairing should take heart to hear that the two are working on individual projects and both have solo work ready for some serious pre-break-up comparisons.
The new EP from Bazan is titled "Fewer Moving Parts" and was released this week on Jade Tree Records.
David speaks about the EP on his website:
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. "FEWER MOVING PARTS" is hands-down Bazan's finest work to date.
Here's a tracklisting:
Selling Advertising
How I Remember
Fewer Broken Pieces
Cold Beer and Cigarettes

Digital Test Driving of the EP is available on his myspace page.
David Bazan LPs are on the horizon for early 2007 release so make your new year's resolution now to get more Bazan in your life.
