Wovenhand – Ten Stones

Wovenhand is of course David Eugene Edwards’ - you might know the guy from 16 Horsepower – project. I like all of his albums I’ve heard so far so it’s not much of a surprise that I like “Ten Stones” as well. Edwards has a sound unlike anything else you’ll hear but the thing is that it does always kinda sounds alike.

As long as he keeps writing songs like “Not One Stone” though, I don’t see why that should be a problem. Like a Celtic Nick Cave, he navigates his soul to the darkes place he can find and then settles there for a stint. Always threatening, hardly ever explosive… hell, the guy even turns a bossanova song by Antonio Carlos Jobim into something that will even scare off the most vile serial killer (“Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars”).
Score: 7 out of 10
