Barsuk

Barsuk Records is an independent record label based in Seattle, Washington. Initially started in 1994 by members of the band *Death Cab for Cutie* as a fake imprint to release a 7” single, it was officially established in 1998.

Since its inception, Barsuk has become known for its commitment to supporting and promoting talented artists across various genres. With a roster that includes acclaimed acts such as *Phantogram*, *Ra Ra Riot*, and *Nada Surf*, the label has consistently delivered exceptional music to fans around the world.

With a focus on fostering creativity and artistic integrity, Barsuk continues to be at the forefront of the independent music scene. Its dedication to providing a platform for emerging talent ensures that listeners can always expect fresh and innovative sounds from their diverse lineup of artists.

David Bazan is an indie-rock singer/songwriter from Seattle, Washington (USA). He gained recognition as the frontman of *Pedro The Lion*, a band that disbanded in 2006. Since then, Bazan has embarked on a successful solo career, captivating audiences with his introspective lyrics and emotive performances.

Bazan's music can be described as raw and honest, often exploring themes of faith, doubt, and personal struggles. His unique sound blends elements of rock, folk, and alternative genres to create a distinct sonic experience.

Influenced by artists such as *Jeremy Enigk* and *Damien Jurado*, Bazan's songwriting prowess shines through in his poignant storytelling and thought-provoking lyrics. With each album release, he continues to push boundaries and evolve as an artist.

David Bazan has never had the answers. His first two solo records, 2009's Curse Your Branches and 2011's Strange Negotiations lived inside questions. Questions of politics, of relationships, of addiction, and of God. For anyone looking to art to remove doubt, Bazan is not that refuge. With a catalogue that orbits the darkest corners of the human experience, his songs are the tiny pinprick of light, the first breath coming up for air, the rest stop on a trip with no destination. Made up of tracks that were previously available in a very limited edition 7" vinyl series called Bazan Monthly, Volume 1 and Volume 2, Bazan started the project to see what kind of songs would come if he sat down in a small bedroom in his basement, propelled by a deadline, kids sleeping upstairs, and wrote from the duality that had blocked him from writing before - what it means to have a home, and have to constantly leave it to make ends meet. These are home songs, songs about returning, songs about not quite knowing what it means to return.
