David Dye welcomes David Bazan on this edition of World Cafe Words and Music from WXPN. Over the course of ten prolific years with the Christian indie rock band Pedro The Lion, Bazan released numerous critically-acclaimed group albums until his burdensome drinking broke the momentum. In 2006 Bazan re-emerged with vigor as a solo artist, earning a spot on Paste Magazine's "100 Best Songwriters" list. His new disc, "Curse Your Branches," exemplifies Bazan's gift for evocative songwriting. In this interview he discusses his struggles with faith and substance abuse, his relationship with the Christian community, and his conscious effort to break away from moral oscillation on this album.
