David Bazan’s new album, Curse Your Branches, is awesome. Quick background: Bazan was raised an Evangelical Christian, and made great music with the Christian indie-rock band Pedro the Lion for years. Then, married and 30 years old, he had a sort of existential crisis, and went from Evangelical Christian to Atheist in the span of [...]

The album I'm most excited for this year is by far David Bazan's first full length solo album, Curse Your Branches. It's strange to think that the former Pedro The Lion frontman is only just now releasing his first solo album but it's true - his last release was the EP Fewer Moving Parts that was released some 3 years back. Today, Stereogum broke the first track over on the Gum Drop.David Baz.

One of the musicians that has impacted my life the most is doubtlessly David Bazan, who I first discovered about ten years ago after the release of Pedro The Lion's It's Hard To Find a Friend. Most of the musicians that have impacted my life for as long as Bazan has have either died or disbanded so when it was announced earlier in the summer that Bazan's headlining tour would bring him to Chic...

[September 2009] When I was in high school, I got a job at a Christian bookstore. I was partly just looking for discounts on wildly underrated records by faithful indie rockers like Starflyer 59, Danielson Famile, and David Bazan's former band, Pedro The Lion. Still, as much as it pains me to admit it, back then I was fairly conservative and even (dare I say it?) evangelical. Of course, after h...

Like a real review, but a shitload shorter and hopefully a bit more concise and to the point. Enjoy David BazanCurse Your BranchesBarsukHeart breaking [...]

Curse Your Branches is the new album from Pedro The Lion's David Bazan. With one EP under his belt, this is the first full length record of Bazan's solo career.There are no shortage of musicians out there who are penning songs about pain and life gone wrong. What separated Pedro The Lion from the likes of Bon Iver and Iron & Wine is that they knew that the music was just as important as the

Curse Your Branches, a brutally-honest document of one man's struggle with his faith, begs us to reconsider Bazan's place in the singer-songwriter pecking order.

This post was inspired by Eric5776 who mentioned a forthcoming album... According to davidbazan.com, a full length debut album with his new band "David Bazan's Black Cloud" is in the works for early 2009, which will be released by the new label he signed with, Barsuk Records. The "band" is really supposed to just be him playing all of the instruments on the album and then he's going to bring 5...
