Achilles Heel

Pedro The Lion's masterpiece and final album is once again available on vinyl and remastered by TW Walsh. After the huge crossover success of 2002's Control, it was only a matter of time before David Bazan and company would fully realize their swan song. Beautifully achieved, Achilles' Heel is crafted as a scathing glance into the crosshairs of the American dream, a heartbreaking sketch of husbandhood and ultimately an exploration of faith as told through eleven perfectly textured vignettes. As sonically mature as it is emotionally complex, Achilles' Heel is imbued with hopeful sadness.
