"Phoenix is Bazan’s best work in years and a worthy successor to a back catalog beloved by indie rock and emo fans for over 20 years.” - Vulture
"Reflective and revealing, it's a remarkable opening to a new chapter in Bazan's musical history.” - NPR
"It’s a crafty sonic execution of the strange disconnect your feel revisiting your hometown after many years: a vague residue of home that fades amidst constant the rebuilding and mutating.” - Drowned in Sound
"Bazan’s songs always ache.” - Stereogum
“Phoenix is as much about an inner place as it is about a location on the map. It’s an examination of how our surroundings shape and reflect us.” - Aquarium Drunkard
“…a powerful return, filled with sketches of still life frozen in time and conjured from deep inside the soul.” - Dork

Time to let your emotions run wild because Pedro The Lion's first album in 15 years, Phoenix, is officially out everywhere. Phoenix maps out the emotional intricacies of growing up in Arizona with the songs themselves a darkly hopeful introspection into home and what it means to go back, if you ever can. It is an ode to the place Bazan still loves despite how alien it can appear to him now. Phoenix is the proof that when we look for home we eventually run into it again, whether it’s in the desert, in a rehearsal space, or on a stage. You can find the long-awaited follow up to Achilles Heel in your favorite local record stores and online today. Catch the band on tour this year with the likes of Tomberlin and John Vanderslice. Tickets onsale now.
