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 potential swansong. 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 11 perfectly textured vignettes. As sonically mature as it is emotionally complex, "Achilles Heel" is imbued with the hopeful sadness that only Pedro The Lion can, and do, deliver. Now available again on vinyl.
