Park, who also worked on ‘Phoenix’, and Bazan wrote, arranged, and performed most of the music himself, with help from PTL live drummer Sean T.

Lane on every track and synths from longtime collaborator Andy Fitts.Album opener ‘Don’t Wanna Move’ features the same guitar riff from PTL live guitarist Erik Walters that appeared on ‘Phoenix’ closer ‘Leaving The Galley’.“I was psyched to open this record with it,” Bazan said. “I’m trying to have a flow between the records, so if people want to engage with that, there’s something there.”You can listen to ‘Havasu’ below:Pedro The Lion are gearing up to head out on the road for a US tour in support of ‘Havasu’ this spring.
