CRITICS ARE PRAISING DAVID EUGENE EDWARDS' SOLO DEBUT 'HYACINTH' 

"The diverse nature of the music on Hyacinth never overshadows the intelligent, well-written lyrics and for me recalls the spirit of the late Mark Lanegan’s Phantom Radio. So, a mature artist steeped in the older, longstanding genres of folk and Americana while experimenting with contemporaneous sounds results in something truly magical such as we have with Hyacinth."

"Hyacinth is yet another extension of Edwards’ intuitive ideologies, and whether these notions will exclusively be dispatched through the lens of his own name or whether the Wovenhand story will resume at some point, either way, the world of new music will always be stronger with David Eugene Edwards in it."

"In the hallowed corn cribs and haunted hollers of gothic Americana, no figure looms larger than David Eugene Edwards. As the resident expert on the darker corners of country music, I’ve followed Mr. Edwards’ career through its various iterations, which started way back in 1988 with the founding of The Denver Gentlemen and what would come to be known as the Denver Sound. This would encompass acts like Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, Munly and the Lee Lewis Harlots, Devotchka, and most notably, Edwards’ own 16 Horsepower and Wovenhand."

Full review: angrymetalguy.com

“David Eugene Edwards’ Hyacinth is the debut solo album from the Colorado singer/songwriter, famed for his work in Wovenhand and 16 Horsepower. And in the spirit of his prior work, Hyacinth is a dark, stormy piece of gothic Americana that’s steeped in both acoustic folk and more intensely atmospheric industrial sounds. Inspired by Greek myth and a more overall spiritual search for greater understanding, it features a juxtaposition of subtle and bombastic sounds alike, a hauntingly awe-inspiring set of dark folk at its most apocalyptic.”

DAVID EUGENE EDWARDS ANNOUNCES DEBUT SOLO ALBUM 'HYACINTH' - WATCH/HEAR "LIONISIS" 

David Eugene Edwards has announced his first ever solo album under his own name, sharing the lead single and video from Hyacinth.

David Eugene Edwards has always been larger than life. His atemporal style and powerfully iconoclast presence make him seem a man somehow beyond us. 

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 poignance into musical archetypes long abandoned in the latter-20th Century. Anyone who has seen him perform live will attest to his captivating intensity as he sings and coaxes sweeping, dark fury and beauty from his instrument.

Now, on his first-ever solo album under his own name, 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 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.
