It’s Hard to Find a Friend

Pedro the Lion

Sparse, mid-tempo indie rock focused on the quiet weight of suburban isolation. A dry and devastatingly honest exploration of faith and failed connections.

Find on Amazon

The most honest album about how hard it is to be a person and a friend.

A weary, winter-chilled meditation on the difficulty of faith and the fragility of human relationships.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The jarringly honest lyrical pivot in Big Trucks where the metaphor for distance becomes literal and heavy.
The slow, agonizing build of Secret of the Easy Yoke as the guitar feedback begins to swallow the weary vocal melody.
The fragile vocal harmony that enters during the chorus of The Longer I Lay Here, adding a layer of ghostly companionship.
