David Bazan, who put his Pedro The Lion moniker to rest late last year, is set has posted a new track from his solo outing and followup to Achilles Heel. The release, an EP entitled Fewer Moving Parts, will be available exclusively online and from Mr. Bazan on his June tour, with a "street date" of June 13th.
The EP features two versions of each of the five songs: one a "stripped down acoustic" version and the other with full-instrumentation, all performed by Bazan himself. The release will feature artwork by graphic novel artist Zak Sally, who was also a former member of the slowcore band Low. Mr. Bazan is currently working on his debut LP for release in the Spring of 2007.
