i just posted a piece on the eikon blog that i wrote about the intersection of faith and culture concerning the punch brothers’ 40-minute epic piece the blind leaving the blind. punch brothers is fronted by former nickel creek wunderkind chris thile. thile, on this album/track, is the most open and honest about his move away from his childhood faith than any of his previous efforts and therefore, offers a beautiful and tough look at the way many people view christianity.
