David Bazan: Breaking up with God


Still, it's something of a surprise that Bazan's new album Curse Your Branches is about the singer's conversion to agnosticism - in some ways, it plays like a breakup letter to God - which has accompanied his forays into parenthood and sobriety.  Many albums document the process of finding God, but not so many reflect on losing God, especially coming from someone whose work has been so outspokenly spiritual in nature.  That said, "Hard to Be," with its chorus of "It's hard to be a decent human being," pulls off a remarkable feat: It makes breaking up with God seem even less fun than it might sound.

I found out about J. Tillman on Aquarium Drunkard today while I was supposed to be studying for my teaching on Monday.


The song is called Vessels and was recorded last month, August, while Tillman and his touring band played in Sacramento.  Check out Aquarium Drunkard to download more of Tillman's music.  

I like it.  He has slow, melodic vocals similar to David Bazan.

We’re going up to Montreal Canada for the last weekend of our honeymoon and stumbled across a music festival going on at the same time.  We’re only going Saturday, primarily to see Coldplay.

Here’s a few of the artists playing Saturday.
