David Bazan and Say Hi at High Noon SaloonLike St. Augustine with an acoustic guitar and a better sense of humor, David Bazan has spent most of his career--in and out of Pedro The Lion--confessing his various crises of faith. Those doubts come to an urgent head on his solo debut, Curse Your Branches, which finds the melancholy singer taking his agnosticism in purposeful, if mournful stride, admitting he's “clung to miracles I have not seen” and deciding that hell is right here on earth--specifically his battles with the bottle, which he addresses with the same unsparing yet inspirational reproach. Opener Say Hi’s Eric Elbogen continues to thrive on resourceful, bittersweet pop on 2009's Oohs & Aahs, crafting clever nuggets of song that include requests for tender touching and references to Saucony-wearing Built To Spill fans.
