Full album stream: David Bazan – Strange Negotiations
David Bazan, former creative force of Seattle’s Pedro the Lion, released his second full-length LP, Strange Negotiations, on May 24 via Barsuk Records. He’s currently touring the US (forgetting t-shirts along the way) and will be stopping by the Casbah on July 8 to delight the SD scene with his full beard and urgent yet comfortable melodies.
A mix of a dour Springsteen, a huskier Pete Yorn, and a more palatable Gaslight Anthem, Bazan is an artist complacently lost in time, somewhere in between the indie rock of the 90s and the “indie rock†of the aughts. And, as he has proven time and again, that’s a good place to be — Strange Negotations is the perfect summertime BBQ album, with a heartiness to complement your grass-fed beef or black bean burger.

Love my Seattle boys – Rocky and Dave. Excited for the show.
Such a huge fan. Can’t wait to be at this show!
Okay, so obviously I have to enter this. DUH. But since I’m here, I just wanted to remind you guys how much I love you. Thank you for being the amazing resource the Internet AND San Diego needs so desperately!
Gimme!
I’m from Belgium and have been living here for a while, always interested in discovering new bands, and this sounds promising! can I also mention that it’s only 10 days from my birthday! 🙂
Such a huge fan of his work since Pedro!
How can I not comment on the chance to see a show that is described as a “robust, loose performance”?
