... is fucking awesome. Just found out about it a few days ago. Any recommendations beyond him and his other projects? For those who know what I'm talking about, anyway. |

Woven Hand is just the beginning if you're interesting in exploring similar music. You can trace most of it back to a band from Denver Colorado called The Denver Gentlemen which was comprised of three individuals: David Eugene Edwards (Woven Hand), Jeffery-Paul Norlander, and Slim Cessna. Edwards went on to form 16 Horsepower before he did Woven Hand. 16 Horsepower is more song based than Woven Hand seems to be, with the earlier stuff having a more prominent punk influence than the later stuff. It all has has really dark religious overtones, as most of the other similar music from Denver seems to. I'd recommend all the 16 Horsepower albums, if you haven't heard them already. Slim Cessna formed a band called Slim Cessna's Auto Club, that at first did sort of straight forward country and western, but then started to get really weird and really good when a guy named Munly Munly joined the band. I really really recommend their latest album The Blovdy Tenent Truth Peace. The variety of instruments as well as the depth of song writing is really impressive. Definitely one of my favourite albums ever. Munly has also released several albums, some of which are really hard to find right now, but are going to be rereleased in the near future. They are similar to the lastest Auto Club records but even darker. I recommend all of those. Finally Jeffery-Paul, did various things (even working with 16 Horsepower on Low Estate), but stayed with The Denver Gentlemen and released an album with a new lineup. That album was called Introducing... and you can download it right because it's out of print. It's a good bit different than Woven Hand, but if I had to pick my favourite album, this would be it. There's also a newish album, which is very good. Other somewhat related bands: Devotchka, Reverend Glasseye, Lillium, Painted Saints, and a lot of others I'm probably forgetting. |

You're welcome. It's just that this string of music has made up the majority of what I've listened to for the past 4 years or so. Probably so much because it was a refreshing contrast with the other music that I also listened to - cleansing the pallet or something. |

Holy fucking christ, 16 Horsepower is awesome. Reverend Glasseye & His Wooden Legs as well... I'd really like to get ahold of some Lilium, but no luck... |
