David Bazan

Bazan’s Strange Negotiations came out in May 2011 and was on heavy rotation for us the rest of the summer—the summer of The Great Discontent. We spent those months working late with music playing and the windows open. We launched TGD in August and Negotiations is a reminder of the months leading up to publishing our first interview. When David agreed to talk with us, we were stoked to have him roud out our 2011 lineup. David shared generously about his musical roots, life as a full-time musician, why he digs Seattle so much, and his own feelings of discontent. —Tina
