In 2019, David Bazan revived Pedro the Lion with the release of "Phoenix," the first album in a five-part musical memoir reflecting on Bazan's youth. The latest installment, "Havasu" (2022), delves into Bazan's experiences in Lake Havasu City during seventh grade. Moving forward, "Santa Cruz" continues the series, capturing the teenage awakening of a 13-year-old Bazan on the brink of adulthood, offering a raw and intense reflection on the past and its influence on the present.
