Santa Cruz (album)

Santa Cruz is a studio album by Pedro the Lion. Released on June 7, 2024 it is the seventh Pedro the Lion LP and forms their third in a planned five album arc following 2019's Phoenix and 2022's Havasu. Santa Cruz forms part of an autobiographical telling of the lead singer David Bazan's adolescence, focusing on a year spent in Santa Cruz, California.

David said that the timeline for this album should overlap with the next album in the set which will be called Paradise named after the city of the same name in California about three hours away. This appears to be a difference from the prior albums where he would leave his old city behind so that he could completely move to the new one.
