Woven Hand
David Eugene Edwards, enigmatic frontman and visionary for 16 Horsepower, began recording under the Woven Hand moniker while Horsepower was on hiatus in 2001. (The name "Woven Hand" refers to hands clasped in prayer; Edwards' Christianity -- he was raised the son of a traveling Nazarene preacher -- is a consistent, driving theme in his music.)

In the words of Robert Browning, Wovenhand heralds 'another greater, wilder country' on Ten Stones. From the jarring folk of 'White Knuckle Grip', to the eerie bossa nova of Antonio Carlos Jobim's 'Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars', to the fiery foot-stomper 'Not One Stone', the album forms a song-cycle that is singular in its breadth and eclecticism. Flanked by the haunting strains of the band and the drones of the double bass, Edwards' lyrical inversions stitch symbols into a tapestry of peaceable and h [ read more ]

David Eugene Edwards' solo work as Woven Hand is now well established, given that he's reached his fourth album under that moniker. It's easy and accurate enough to say that Mosaic follows in the same general vein of previous efforts -- his lyrical intensity and religious foci remain paramount, while some striking cover art continues the good run on that front. Beginning with the instrumental "Breathing Bull," wheezing keyboards and textures suggesting Ennio Morricone scoring something after [ read more ]
