David Bazan: signs with Barsuk Records
David Bazan has signed with Seattle's Barsuk Records, with a planned re-release of Fewer Moving Parts EP on May 22. Barsuk has announced, "We have tentatively scheduled a full-length release of new material for early 2008."
In 2006, Pedro the Lion broke up, which left Bazan without a record contract. He originally planned to stay with Jade Tree and begin recording a full length solo album for a 2007 release. Instead, Bazan independently released a his EP late in 2006. Besides touring, bazan has been recording new material in his home studio.
David Bazan is currently on a sold-out tour with Ben Gibbard and Jonathan Rice during the month of May. It's interesting to note that Gibbard's band, Death Cab for Cutie, released a number of albums on Barsuk before inking a deal with Atlantic.
Bazan will perform a few shows in June with The New Year. Matt and Bubba Kadane, of The New Year, have released two albums with Touch and Go Records.
