If you ever said to yourself "I wish David Bazan would re-record some of his songs with a string quartet," well have I got a treat for you! As a fan of Bazan and Pedro the Lion, it was a shoe-in I would like this, the question was just how much. I might have picked some different tracks to include here, but since he did include a couple of my favorite songs ("When They Really Get to Know You They Will Run," "Priests and Paramedics") there will be no need to riot or protest. To be completely honest I'm not sure I needed to hear his songs with strings added - his voice carries all the emotion of his music in my opinion - but it's pretty, and dammit sometimes that is enough of a reason to do something.
