Music reviews of Progress
Music Review: Another moving experience.
Rating: 4 Stars
Pedro the Lion is solid and strong with their 3rd EP release, "Progress". The mood is mellow and rich as David Bazan delivers his sermon on life, living, and the troubles we have to learn to deal with. Surprisingly darker than their previous releases, the first track "june 18, 1976" is a story of a young unwed girl who gives her child away to say good-bye with a trajic suicide. The culimination and over-empowering emotion in the song is worth the EP price alone. The song finishes off with a haunting reverb of the lyrics "each one in awe/for they'd never seen a girl/so sad and beautiful", which describes the song perfectly. The next song, "april 6, 2039", is a melancholic look at a life who's been worn out and dying, far stuck inside "progress'" gearwork. The feel and mood to the song is constant and for the most part unchanging, but this perhaps adds to the songs emphasis on dying within the system of life. To finish the EP up, they include "of up and coming monarchs" from "It's Hard to Find a Friend" and "letter from a concerned follower" off of the 2nd EP, "The Only Reason I Feel Secure"; both songs equally deserving of an encore, though I would have appreciated some more b-sides. If anything this EP shows you the change to a darker and more melancholic mood for Pedro, which I feel is their strong point. If you like this release, definitely go buy their first release and EP, "whole", which offers an extraordinary look into the progression of a person from life's pain to extreme bliss. "Whole" would definitely still have to be my favorite release, but this EP comes in at a close second.
