Album Review
Christian indie rock? It had to happen, what with Christian metal and punk rock having been around for a decade or longer. Singer/songwriter David Bazan of Pedro the Lion is surely devout, but rather than preach a clean lifestyle or dedicate his music to Jesus, his songs are about believing in, questioning, and challenging his faith. His fans are more indie than Christian, digging his lilting whine of a voice and his downbeat, somber tunes, which occasionally rock but more often drone. Control is in no way a departure from his other albums. Bazan, who plays guitar, drums, bass, and keyboards on Control and often handles all the instruments on his records, is joined this time by Casey Foubert on bass, percussion, and keyboards. Bazan is a fine guitarist and his tunes are strong but he's no Elliott Smith yet. Perhaps if he expands his songwriting and subject matter, he could be a future heir to the tragically vacated indie rock confessional throne Smith occupied.
Customer Reviews
THE BEST BAND
This album is one of the rare ones that will change your life. These guys are pure genius. I would recommend this album to anyone who wants to listen to stellar lyrics that ring out with truth, and a beautiful and unique culmination of sound and feeling. It's the kind of music that makes you feel all warm inside, and brings back awesome summertime memories. God I love it. BUY IT. Listen to the ENTIRE album, then buy everything else they've done!
A+
Bazan does some of his most incisive, cutting social commentary on this record.
Also, the drumming on "Magazine" is just mind-numbingly amazing.
