” [On Tuesday I] had the opportunity to attend an invite-only show at Pianos on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. In a small room packed mostly with music journalists and other industry types, Bazan and his band blasted through a 10-song set in just under an hour, still making time for his typical practice of Q&A.

The entire set was drawn from the new record, he played almost the entire album, with the exception of “Harmless Sparks” and the addition of “Cold Beer and Cigarettes” and “How I Remember” from the “Fewer Moving Parts” EP. I have had the opportunity to see Bazan many times in concerts in a variety of venues, and I can honestly say that I’ve never heard him and his band sound as polished and tight as they did [Tuesday at Pianos.” [Patrol Mag]
