Curse Your Branches

VINYL FORMAT. Includes a free MP3 download! Revered for his work fronting the influential group Pedro the Lion, Curse Your Branches is David Bazan's first full-length release under his own name. It's a flat-out masterwork by a modern American poet at the height of his powers.

Curse Your Branches is the deepest and most overtly autobiographical exploration of his theological struggles and resulting battle with alcohol to date, and a meditation on all things passed between the generations - belief, doubt, love, addiction - that showcases his incredible arrangements and melodic sense, and, of course, the trademark dark humor, incisive lyrical economy, and light touch in dealing with heavy themes that has drawn comparisons to no lesser talents than Prince, Randy Newman, and Leonard Cohen.
