The latest autobiographical album from Pedro the Lion covers what shaped David Bazan's musical identity as a teenager.
Now we’re getting to the good stuff. After unpacking his childhood on albums in 2019 and 2022, David Bazan has arrived at his teenage years and early adulthood on, the third entry in an autobiographical arc by Pedro the Lion. This is when Bazan starts coming into his own, figuring out who he is and shaping the musical identity that has carried him through more or less until now.
Part of that process involved stepping back into Pedro the Lion, a moniker that had been dormant for 11 years before Bazan revived it in time for the 2019 album. That LP was a collection of songs revisiting his childhood in the city where he was born and lived until his family moved away after seventh grade.
“Modesto” comes in on the latter half of the album, as Bazan begins firming up what would become a life in music: He quits the salesman racket in favor of a job in a guitar store, a change he relates over a thick blanket of fuzzed-over guitars and a slow beat. There’s a fair bit of angst before that happens, though. On the happier side, Bazan starts to find his crowd on “Little Help,” backed by buzzing bass and synthesizers.
