bandcamp.com – David Bazan has consistently produced music that scratches my itch. Careful lyrical slices of a life rife with internal struggles, his Pedro the Lion records are embedded into my amygdala. In my opinion, Winners Never Quit and Control are quintessential albums that sit in my teenage requiem. Bandcamp interviews Bazan on some of his influences, past and future, and of course, his bandcamp picks. Highly recommend reading, and happy listening.

I’ve been listening to Chrome Sparks for years now. Pretty much ever since his Bandcamp hit, Marijuana was featured on a viral video of a cat that swept Reddit like a wildfire in 2014.
Those were good times.
His newest EP, is pretty fantastic. It’s not a wild departure or anything, but I can tell that his taste and composition is certainly maturing. His tracks have had (for some time now), great rhythm exploration, thrilling bips, kits and sequence layers that are really just simply delicious to listen to. But this EP in particular has a heavy synthesizer, simple samples and overall has a decent homogeny that I just dig.
His previous releases are also worth a listen, click here to visit his Bandcamp. Otherwise, checkout Be On Fire below via Apple Music.
