Release Notes:
Just to make sure we got the facts right: David
Eugene Edwards played in various bands in his
hometown L.A. before he formed 16 Horsepower with
Pascal Humbert and Jean-Yves Tola in 1992. After one
show, David and Jean-Yves moved to Denver, Colorado
where they re-formed the band with bass player Keven
Sole. Signed to A&M Records from 1995 to 1999, they
released one EP and two full-length albums. Went to
Über-Indie (Mojo) Glitterhouse Records in 2000 and
released Secret South, Hoarse (Live), Olden and
Folklore as well as two DVDs.
All these releases were supported by extensive
touring. After one of these tours 16 Horsepower
decided to take a rest to devote more time to other
things. Jean-Yves raises horses with his wife,
Pascal was building a house. But David had a million
ideas that needed an outlet as well as a family to
support Woven Hand was born.
2001 saw the release of the Woven Hand debut which
received high praise. Woven Hand further grew in
importance when Wim Vandekeybus of the highly
reputed Belgian dance theatre Ultima Vez asked David
to write the music for his next project (composers
for previous scores have been Marc Ribot and David
Byrne). The score was finally released as Blush
(The Original Score) and is only available via the
Glitterhouse Mailorder and on Ultima Vez shows. The
score then formed the basis for a fully developed
album. An album (just titled Blush Music) that is
more than the music to a ballet, with real songs
that are as dark and deeply emotional as everything
this songwriter of apocalyptic intensity" (Uncut)
had ever done. Consider The Birds followed in
2004, a record that achieves a passionate pitch
that eternally eclipses his output with his proper
band, 16 Horsepower.
