It's Hard to Find a Friend
Slower tempo folk-ish songs by a guy who
loves Jesus isn't exactly what I'd call my speed, but Pedro
the Lion is just so damn cute that it's hard to resist. In fact,
I'm hardly bothered by the Christ thing (not being a believer
myself), and it in fact adds an edge to his music that might
not necessarily be there if he was just some secular indie crooner.
I'm always searching for the subtext in his lyrics and applying
my limited knowledge of the church to his questioning lilting.
I guess this could be considered acoustic Christian emo? I mean
the guy is emotional about girls and God, so why not? While
not quite as cathartic as, say, The
Mountain Goats, or as convoluted and intricate as John
Vanderslice, this album is up there in that category. This
is, in my opinion, David Bazan's best album, and certainly up
there on my list of best albums to mope to (especially when
I'm totally mad at The Lord). |
