Phoenix, released on Polyvinyl on January 18, 2019, was the first Pedro the Lion album since Achilles Heel in 2004, and putting that name back on the cover was a statement in itself. David Bazan had retired the band in 2006 to go solo, then revived it late in 2017, and here he opens a five-part autobiographical cycle, turning his knack for first-person storytelling on his own life, with Erik Walters on guitar and Sean Lane on drums. The songs are rough-edged, patient indie rock, the guitars chewing slowly while Bazan picks through memories.
The next chapters, Havasu in 2022 and Santa Cruz in 2024, carry on through his growing-up years. "Yellow Bike" is the track that made the countdowns.
