David Bazan is the frontman of the Seattle-based band Pedro The Lion. Even though the singer/songwriter also has a long and successful solo career, and his latest batch of songs reflect on his hometown and growing up there, Bazan decided to record these songs as a group project. Phoenix is the first Pedro The Lion album in about 15 years. Bazan's effectively delivers his heartfelt and detailed lyrics based on his memories of his youth in the desert city. He plays bass, synth, and some guitar on Phoenix. Erik Walters is the lead guitarist, and Sean Lane is the drummer. Together, they are Pedro The Lion.
