Mercurial Silence (2026)

"Whether you’ve spent time with 16 Horsepower or Wovenhand, David Eugene Edwards’ music has always stood out due to his fiery delivery style and the sheer amount of ground that each project covered. Wovenhand originally functioned as a solo endeavor but expanded to include a regular group of collaborators, so it makes sense that in 2023 Edwards released his first solo album "Hyacinth" under his name. That effort retained some of the folk elements but incorporated some electronics and other stylistic influences that broadened his musical horizons, and "Mercurial Silence" pushes even further outwards. The material places an emphasis on thumping beats that have more of a modern hip-hop and electronic feel to them, while retaining the hazier melodies and sweeping instrumentation Edwards is known for. The way that his voice hovers over top of the beats and hazier melodies is entrancing. Sometimes there’s a bit more gravel and grit, while other songs take on a more ethereal tone."
