<p>In order to promote his first full length without the <strong>Pedro the Lion</strong> moniker, <a  href="http://www.davidbazan.com/" target="_blank"><strong>David Bazan</strong></a> has released a track off of his upcoming album <em><strong>Curse Your Branches</strong></em>.  The track is called <em><strong>Bless the Mess</strong></em> and according to Bazan is a kind of autobiographical song.  Something he&#8217;s never really done.</p>
<p>According to Bazan:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The song is largely autobiographical. So any narrative in the song reflects actual events. Though I may have embellished a bit. But the main lyrical gimmick is sort of a self-conscious and hopeful interpretation of the Beatitudes, which I have an uneasy relationship with as the narrative tends to illustrate.</em></p></blockquote>
<p><strong><em>Curse Your Branches</em></strong> is available for pre-order! You&#8217;ll get access to a free stream of the record if you order before Sept 1.</p>
