Wovenhand West Coast Tour with Pontiak Starts Nov. 4
I’ve only seen Wovenhand once. They’ve come through New York a few times, but I never went because I didn’t want to deal with the crowd. When I caught them though, they were staggeringly good, and that was before Refractory Obdurate (review here), which is their latest album. I guess the point I’m trying to make is if you get the chance and you can put yourself in a place where they’re going to be, you should give it a shot. Particularly now since the new record is so unbelievable, though I’d probably have told you the same thing with the last one too.
Okay:
WOVENHAND ANNOUNCES U.S. TOUR DATES IN NOVEMBER WITH PONTIAK
New Album Refractory Obdurate Available Now from Deathwish Inc.
Wovenhand is a band led by dedicated life-musician and lyricist, David Eugene Edwards. Over the last two decades, his prolific work in both Wovenhand and the legendary 16 Horsepower has influenced and inspired a generation of musicians throughout the expansive alternative music world. Wovenhand cannot be described in traditional terms. Its sound is an organic, weavework of neo-folk, post rock, punk, old-time, and alternative sounds, all coming together as a vehicle for David’s soulful expression and constant spiritual self exploration. Sometimes sad and sorrowed and at other times uplifting, Wovenhand is always unforgettable in spirit and sound.
Wovenhand released its landmark effort Refractory Obdurate this past April via a partnership between Deathwish Inc. and Glitterhouse Records. Refractory Obdurate is a moving masterwork that shows Wovenhand exploring louder roots hinted at on prior albums.
Now, Wovenhand is gearing up to play a three-week-long tour of the Western United States with Pontiak (Thrill Jockey) throughout November. The bands will make a stop at Fun Fun Fun Nites in Austin, TX on November 7th, as well as play an amazing show with a lineup including King Dude and Spencer Moody with DJ Chelsea Wolfe in Los Angeles on November 12th – check out the full routing below.
