{"product_id":"david-bazan-curse-your-branches-cd","title":"Curse Your Branches CD","description":"The ex-Pedro the Lion frontman David Bazan wrestles with spiritual doubts and family issues with unflinching honesty in these tracks.  Bazan confronts his long-held Christian beliefs with seriousness, leavening his biting self-criticism with wry humor.  His delivery - at once vulnerable and defiant - gives a confession quality to revelatory tracks like \u003ci\u003eLost My Shape, \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eIn Stitches\u003c\/i\u003e and the title tune.  His examinations of theological matters (such as the sexual themes in \u003ci\u003eHarmless Sparks\u003c\/i\u003e) are handled with poetic insight and compassion.  On a more intimate level, songs like \u003ci\u003ePlease, Baby, Please\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBearing Witness\u003c\/i\u003e capture Bazan's struggles as a husband and parent in plainspoken terms.  Musically, \u003cem\u003eCurse Your Branches\u003c\/em\u003e mostly stays anchored in solid rock grooves, even as the tracks glisten with chiming guitars and echo with pensive pianos.  Strains of buoyant pop (“Heavy Breath) and rootsy R\u0026amp;B (“Bless The Mess) add some color to the album's generally dark tones.  In the end, Bazan transforms his crisis of faith into compelling art.  A gutsy, profound, and compelling work. - iTunes\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: September 01, 2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Barsuk Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 655173108321\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"David Bazan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772285505,"sku":"David Bazan (2)","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/products\/600x600bb_5340acb9-4d45-4789-885c-e0c3ca6a4bfc.jpg?v=1471616187","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/david-bazan-curse-your-branches-cd","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
