Barsuk Records is honored to announce that we have added former Pedro the Lion front-man David Bazan to our roster. We will be re-releasing the Fewer Moving Parts EP (originally released in a very limited way by Bazan himself in June of last year) shortly. The 10-song EP presents five new Bazan songs, each recorded in both stripped-down acoustic and full instrumentation forms.
Bazan, who was recently named #85 in Paste Magazine's Top 100 Living Songwriters, is currently on tour opening for Ben Gibbard and plans to hit the road again this fall for a headlining tour of the US.
After wrapping up the tour, Bazan will head into the studio where we will begin work on a new full-length record, tentatively scheduled for an early 2008 release.
NPR just webcast a full performance from Bazan’s current tour with Ben Gibbard and Jonathan Rice, and you can hear and download it here:

Well friends, I am a huge lover of all things Bazan — the very title of this blog is taken from an album he wrote — so this excites me very much. Barsuk is a fantastic label full of great artists (Death Cab, The Long Winters, Menomena, Votolato, John Vanderslice ... the list goes on and on) with a history full of great releases.Some things you should know:
- You're gonna want to catch that tour they mentioned: Dave is amazing live
- Dave's new band will be known as "David Bazan's Black Cloud," and their new album should be out early 2008
- Dave is stoked. No really — I spoke with him last night about this while he was in Nashville and he is giddy like a school boy about the change of scenery. That might be a slight exaggeration, but you understand
