Bazan collected his earliest childhood experiences for 2019’s Phoenix, the prolific artist’s celebrated return to the Pedro moniker and the first in a planned series of five records chronicling his past homes. To write its sequel, Bazan traveled to Havasu four times over several years, driving past his junior high campus, a magical skating rink, and other nostalgic locations that evoked feelings long suppressed. “An intersection I hadn’t remembered for 30 years would trigger a flood of hidden memories,” he says. “I was there to soak in it as much as possible.” Driving the inscrutable loops of Havasu’s lakeside, Bazan listened through an audiobook of Tom Petty’s biography, eventually dialoguing with Petty’s voice in his mind. A revelation from the book—that Petty subconsciously wrote the song “Wildflowers” as an act of kindness toward himself—inspired Bazan to approach his own work with radical generosity toward his young self. “I wanted to be there for that kid,” he offers. “That twelve year old still needs parenting, and still needs to process.” To revisit his past with openness, Bazan modified harmful work habits he’d accepted as necessary. That meant doing away with deadlines, and accumulating moments of play as he felt moved to—“Rather than squeezing stones every single time. I’m on a slow journey away from that,” he clarifies. As he worked through the music that became Havasu, flexibility and curiosity informed the arrangements. Bazan began writing on a simple synthesizer and drum machine setup. He detoured to a more elaborate assortment of analog electronic equipment, then woodshed his original two-handed keyboard arrangements on fingerpicked acoustic guitar. Concurrently relearning his catalog for a weekly series of livestream concerts also renewed his gratitude toward songwriting. “I was trying to evaluate what I have to show for 20 years of kicking my own ass,” Bazan quips about the strenuousness of full-time touring. “But the garden of my songs is what I’ve been building. It doesn’t have to be an ego test.” Artist Pedro The Lion Genre Rock And Pop Label Big Scary Monsters Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Making the Most of It Don't Wanna Move Too Much Old Wisdom Stranger First Drumset Teenage Sequencer Good Feeling Own Valentine Lost Myself Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Pedro The Lion Matt's picks View Product Quick View Pedro The Lion Phoenix Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo | Big Scary Monsters | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 18th January 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pedro The Lion Phoenix £23.00 Genre: Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label: Big Scary Monsters SKU: BSM244V Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 18th January 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pedro The Lion Control Rock And Pop | Jade Tree | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th November 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pedro The Lion Control £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jade Tree SKU: JT1072LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th November 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pedro The Lion Achilles Heel Rock And Pop | Jade Tree | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th November 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pedro The Lion Achilles Heel £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jade Tree SKU: JT1095LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th November 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pedro The Lion Its Hard To Find A Friend Rock And Pop | Jade Tree | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th November 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pedro The Lion Its Hard To Find A Friend £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jade Tree SKU: JT1063LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th November 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pedro The Lion Winners Never Quit Rock And Pop | Jade Tree | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th November 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pedro The Lion Winners Never Quit £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jade Tree SKU: JT1046LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th November 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Pedro The Lion The Only Reason I Feel Secure Rock And Pop | Jade Tree | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 12th November 2012 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Pedro The Lion The Only Reason I Feel Secure £16.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jade Tree SKU: JT1064LP Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 12th November 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more from Pedro The Lion Start again More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Ryan Cassata Greatest Hits (So Far) Rock And Pop | Kill Rock Stars | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 9th June 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ryan Cassata Greatest Hits (So Far) £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Kill Rock Stars SKU: LPKRS759IE Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 9th June 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Elvis Presley Live! 1969: Live at the International Hotel, Las Vegas, NV August 26, 1969 Rock And Pop | Sony Legacy | 2LP Released 9th August 2019 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Elvis Presley Live! 1969: Live at the International Hotel, Las Vegas, NV August 26, 1969 £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Sony Legacy SKU: 19075960161 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 9th August 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Rory Gallagher Live!
