David Eugene Edwards has always been transcendent! His timeless and always up-to-date musical style and his dynamic unconventional presence have always made him seem like an entity from beyond!

The music he created with the pioneering heavy droning folk band Wovenhand, and before that the addictive revival of old Americana of 16 Horsepower, revelatoryly breathed life into musical archetypes that had been abandoned since the late 20th century. Anyone who has witnessed one of his live performances can confirm his seductive singing intensity, but also how the dark aura and beauty of his playing on the six-string is able to captivate the viewer, from the very first second of listening.

In his first solo album, under the auspices of his personal brand, Edwards, he delivers a unique soundscape, vulnerable and introspective like nothing he has created in the past. Stripping away the heavy rock mood of his more recent work with Wovenhand, debut "Hyacinth" brings David Eugene's voice, and spare, minimalist instrumentation to the fore. There is a somber beauty and a cynical tone to these songs. And if at times it flirts with the melodic sounds of "Secret South" by 16 Horsepower and the album of the same name by Wovenhand, "Hyacinth" does not stop there! He dares to use everything that Edwards has in his palette, from rhythmic, pulsating, lurking atmospheres reminiscent of tape loops and primitive rhythms of industrial post-punk of the 80's, to 808-beats in the style of modern drill rap. And as "Hyacinth" spins through the stereo and speakers, the feeling it conveys is that of a clock, which with each strike brings us one step closer to immortality!
