"David Bazan is so brilliant about digging into the past and all the ways that we still carry it with us as we grow older." - NPR

Phoenix arrives next week, January 18th. Today we get one last look into Pedro The Lion's first new album in 15 years. Watch the official music video for "Quietest Friend" directed and filmed on 16mm by Jason Lester. It features a Bazan doppelgänger, as well as, Dave's son, Nils, who was previously seen in the video for first single "Yellow Bike," both filmed in and around Arizona.

Pre-order Phoenix now on Early Bird Edition 180-Gram Seafoam w/ Maroon Splatter 2xLP (limited to 1500), CD, Tape, or digitally from the Polyvinyl e-store. Check out those too, too good vinyl pics.

Bazan and Co. have also announced May tour dates with John Vanderslice with tickets going onsale this Friday at 10am local time. Their February run with Tomberlin kicks off next month. If you live in the Seattle area you can catch Pedro The Lion performing a release day show at The Gathering Space at KEXP on Friday, 1/18. It's free and open to the public. <3
