Fans of Pavement may need to set their sights on David Bazan who is the one-man army that propels Pedro the Lion. He is the creator of the simplest of musical whimsies but his flights of fancy have such a velvet cockpit worth of summery nuances it’s hard not to be taken in. His voice has the requisite morning after drawl and his guitars are characterised by a coterie of sweet riffs. ‘Big Trucks’ is charmingly innocent, impossible to dislike such is its propensity for smiling when a rough shove would probably be more appropriate. Bazan is a devout Christian and while this thought might have you hurtling in the opposite direction there is enough warm unfussy noise around the sermon to provide an able distraction. KD
