Consider The Birds:Woven Hand

Title: Consider the Birds

Label: Sounds Familyre

Genre: gothic Americana

Rating: 5.8 of 7

Woven Hand is the side project of David Eugene Edwards, frontman of seminal Denver band 16 Horsepower. Edwards’ defining voice is front and center for his third album under the moniker; and the result is a combination of gothic Americana and dark, theatric folk. The creepy, folkloric soundscapes that back his voice are created by dense layers of acoustic and electric guitar, piano, upright bass and a diverse selection of acoustic percussion. His influence from being the son of a “fire-and-brimstone preacher” comes out strongly in his overtly Biblical (read – religious and epic) lyrics. Consider the Birds is an awkwardly beautiful album that remains mysterious while letting you into the catacombs of Edwards’ questioning mind.
