His music with innovative heavy droning folk band Wovenhand, and before that the haunting revivification of high lonesome sound antique Americana of 16 Horsepower breathed a near apocalyptic sense of urgency and power into musical archetypes long abandoned in the latter-20th Century. On his first-ever solo album under his own name, Hyacinth, David Eugene Edwards delivers a sound uniquely his own, with a vulnerability and introspection unheard from him before. Stripping back the heavy rock of his recent work with Wovenhand, Hyacinth puts the man’s voice, and sparing instrumentation into the main focus. There’s a somber beauty and world-weary tone throughout these songs. The album could’ve been considered a slight return to the more melodic sounds of 16 Horsepower’s Secret South (2000) and the first, self-titled Wovenhand album (2002). But there’s more going on here: a rhythmic, pulsating undercurrent reminiscent of the tape loops and rudimentary rhythms of 80s Industrial post-punk as well as 808 Drill Style beats. The overall effect is often as if we’re hearing the clock ticking away our own mortality. “Hyacinth was a sort of vision,“ Edwards says. “A dream. I sought out of my old wooden banjo and nylon string guitar a hidden path. Secrets they had kept from me within themselves all these years and created a new Mythos to myself of philosophical and spiritual ideas or concepts.” Once he’d harnessed the music within, he enlisted multi-instrumentalist and producer Ben Chisholm (The Armed, Chelsea Wolfe, Converge) to help him realize the album’s recording and mix. “Overall, the album is a weaving of narratives ancient and modern, of humankind’s search for understanding of this world we find ourselves in and of each other. In all its simplicity and complexity,” Edwards continues. “Hyacinth is a reference to the Greek myth of Apollo. And, the word meaning a precious stone and blue larkspur flower of purple and pall.” Artist David Eugene Edwards Genre Rock And Pop Label Sargent House Buying Options 1LP , 1LP Coloured Vinyl Format 1LP , Coloured Vinyl Condition New Country UK Track Listings Seraph Howling Flower Celeste Through The Lattice Apparition Bright Boy Hyacinth Lionisis Weavers Beam Hall of Mirrors The Cuckoo Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Dead Man Winter Furnace Rock And Pop | GNDWire | 1LP Released 27th January 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dead Man Winter Furnace £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: GNDWire SKU: GND003-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 27th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various Artists The Early Motown Eps Volume 2 Rock And Pop | UMC | 7", Box Set Released 23rd January 2017 £53.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various Artists The Early Motown Eps Volume 2 £53.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5372110 Formats: 7", Box Set Released Date: 23rd January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Suzanne Vega Close-Up Vol 1, Love Songs Rock And Pop | Cooking Vinyl | 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd December 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Suzanne Vega Close-Up Vol 1, Love Songs £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Cooking Vinyl SKU: COOKLP521 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Madness Can’t Touch Us Now Rock And Pop | BMG | 180g, 2LP Released 21st July 2023 £28.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Madness Can’t Touch Us Now £28.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG SKU: 4050538618860 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 21st July 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Ben Caplan Birds With Broken Wings Rock And Pop | Coalition Music Records | 1LP Released 2nd September 2016 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ben Caplan Birds With Broken Wings £15.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Coalition Music Records SKU: 0181792000338 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sufjan Stevens Fourth of July Rock And Pop | Asthmatic Kitty Records | 7", Coloured Vinyl Released 2nd December 2022 £11.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sufjan Stevens Fourth of July £11.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Asthmatic Kitty Records SKU: AKR392-7IN-C1 Formats: 7", Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 2nd December 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cut Worms Cut Worms Rock And Pop | Jagjaguwar | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 21st July 2023 £22.00 - £23.00 Select options Cut Worms Cut Worms £22.00 - £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Jagjaguwar Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 21st July 2023 Read More Select options View Product Quick View God Damn Everything Ever Rock And Pop | One Little Independent | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 23rd September 2016 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders God Damn Everything Ever £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: One Little Independent SKU: TPLP1323 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 23rd September 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Prince 4Ever Rock And Pop | Rhino | Box Set Released 13th September 2017 £50.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Prince 4Ever £50.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Rhino SKU: 0093624913047 Formats: Box Set Released Date: 13th September 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Death Bells New Signs of Life Rock And Pop | Dais | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 25th September 2020 £20.00 - £22.00 Select options Death Bells New Signs of Life £20.00 - £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Dais Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 25th September 2020 Read More Select options See more in Rock And Pop Start again
