Glitterhouse Records is extremely happy to announce the release of the new Wovenhand
album on Feb 4th, 2022. "Silver Sash" shows David Eugene Edwards and his band in finest
form once again.
"Silver Sash is a totally unique record for Wovenhand. all done at home, lots of electronics,
mixed during a pandemic, backs to the wall. Its another feather in the wild hat that is the
wovenhand catalog." - Chuck French
Silver Sash is the first sign of life by David Eugene Edwards since the critically acclaimed
Star Treament in 2016. The new album is the first Wovenhand opus completely written in
cooperation with Chuck French, who is also known as a guitarist for aggressive Emocore
outfit Planes Mistaken For Stars. Both know each other for ages. Finally they found the
time to write this astonishing piece of an album. "The music was recorded in my house
in Denver with the help of our dear friend Jason Begin. David recorded his vocals at his
house (which also happens to be 3 blocks away). I had a bunch of music in various states
of existence, of various ages, languishing in my computer. I made a playlist for David and
we just started to devour them bit by bit. Some were scrapped, but most were utilized"
says French. The making of Silver Sash has taken longer than for any previous Wovenhand
album. It took more than 4 years until both artists were satisfied with the outcome.
Silver Sash opens with a mighty clash that is Temple Timber, followed by the forward
pushing Acacia "galloping across the dry grass fields on a horse into the white bark forest".
Song #3 Duat Hawk is the mystic counterpart, focussing on Edwards rich, billowing and
emotive voice that was always the driving force of his music. Next is the first single Dead
Dead Beat which kicks off full tilt. The songs galloping drums, hard hitting guitars and
Edwards soaring voice compels us to rise and join the fray. 9 new songs in total were
recorded that despite their power and heavyness have lost nothing of its magic and
hypnotics as the closing and title track of the album will prove, "the Namesake. Its a
jovial good-bye" says French. Powerful, subtile and intensly deep. Uniting the calm and
mystic side of the early Wovenhand years with the straight forward yet still magic songs
of his latest albums.
Over the last two decades, his prolific work in both Wovenhand and the legendary
16 Horsepower has influenced and inspired a generation of musicians throughout
the expansive alternative music world. The band cannot be described in traditional
terms. Their sound is an organic weavework of neo-folk, post rock, punk, old-time,
and alternative sounds. All coming together as a vehicle for Davids soulful expression
and constant spiritual self exploration. Sometimes sad and sorrowed and at other times
uplifting, Wovenhand are always unforgettable in spirit and sound.
