Joining David on this album are longtime percussionist Ordy Garrison, along with musicians Chuck French and Neil Keener (Planes Mistaken For Stars, Git Some). 'Refractory Obdurate' is a moving masterwork that shows Wovenhand exploring louder roots hinted at on prior albums. As they maintain their melodious course, 'Good Shepherd', 'Field of Hedon', and 'Hiss', stomp forth with a newly amplified punk rock heart. While 'The Refractory', 'Salome', and 'Obdurate Obscura' each ascend epically into a multi-layered haze. Ten songs in all, 'Refractory Obdurate' plays as a beautifully crafted patchwork that transcends genres and expectation; a true artistic achievement, that only Wovenhand could offer.LP on 180 Gram vinyl with Gatefold sleeve with CD Version.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glitterhouse","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50470805897547,"sku":"373449","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4cb99d3b-4742-477b-ad62-a500f341141f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727383369"},{"product_id":"silver-sash","title":"Silver Sash","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSilver Sash\u003c\/i\u003e shows David Eugene Edwards and his band in finest form once again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Silver Sash is a totally unique record for Wovenhand. all done at home, lots of electronics, mixed during a pandemic, backs to the wall.

The new album is the first Wovenhand opus completely written in cooperation with Chuck French, who is also known as a guitarist for aggressive Emocore outfit Planes Mistaken For Stars. Both know each other for ages. Finally they found the time to write this astonishing piece of an album. \"The music was recorded in my house in Denver with the help of our dear friend Jason Begin. David recorded his vocals at his house (which also happens to be 3 blocks away). I had a bunch of music in various states of existence, of various ages, languishing in my computer. I made a playlist for David and we just started to devour them bit by bit. Some were scrapped, but most were utilized\" says French. The making of \u003ci\u003eSilver Sash\u003c\/i\u003e has taken longer than for any previous Wovenhand album. It took more than 4 years until both artists were satisfied with the outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSilver Sash\u003c\/i\u003e opens with a mighty clash that is Temple Timber, followed by the forward pushing Acacia \"galloping across the dry grass fields on a horse into the white bark forest\". Song #3 Duat Hawk is the mystic counterpart, focussing on Edwards' rich, billowing and emotive voice that was always the driving force of his music. Next is the first single Dead Dead Beat which kicks off full tilt. The song's galloping drums, hard hitting guitars and Edwards' soaring voice compels us to rise and join the fray. 9 new songs in total were recorded that despite their power and heavyness have lost nothing of its magic and hypnotics as the closing and title track of the album will prove, \"the Namesake. It's a jovial good-bye\" says French. Powerful, subtile and intensly deep.
