First with the gothic folk urgency of 16 Horsepower, then with the devotional intensity of Wovenhand, and more recently through the stripped-down landscape of his solo work. On his sophomore solo album \u003cem\u003eMercurial Silence\u003c\/em\u003e, Edwards continues the path established on his 2023 debut\u003cem\u003e Hyacinth\u003c\/em\u003e, while pushing his sound into new territory through the expanded use of electronic production and layered textures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe record finds Edwards channeling the stark intensity that has defined much of his career while embracing a broader sonic palette that feels both ancient and modern. His unmistakable voice moves through layers of bowed strings, percussive drones, and spectral electronics, giving \u003cem\u003eMercurial Silence\u003c\/em\u003e the feeling of a transmission from somewhere just beyond reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten and recorded in June 2025 at Edwards' studio in Denver alongside Vincent Petitjean, \u003cem\u003eMercurial Silence\u003c\/em\u003e reflects a deepening of both process and collaboration. For mixing and production, Edwards again worked with Derek Coburn in Los Angeles, who engineered and mixed \u003cem\u003eHyacinth\u003c\/em\u003e, creating continuity between the two records while allowing the newer material to move into more layered territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcross its 12 songs, \u003cem\u003eMercurial Silence\u003c\/em\u003e refines the thematic direction first explored on his debut while widening its focus to consider the recurring stories cultures have told about the heavens and the earth, and how those realms intersect, interact, and continually reshape one another.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e1 Sun of Manes\u003cbr\u003e2 Uraeus\u003cbr\u003e3 Flaxstaff\u003cbr\u003e4 Hexameter\u003cbr\u003e5 Geush Urvan\u003cbr\u003e6 Niut Shaes\u003cbr\u003e7 Doubling Zurvan\u003cbr\u003e8 Mithudrsa\u003cbr\u003e9 Cloud Wolf\u003cbr\u003e10 Perfumer\u003cbr\u003e11 Ninefold\u003cbr\u003e12 Mercurial Silence\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AMS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47924529004718,"sku":"634457241701","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/6118\/0334\/files\/dee.jpg?v=1780090618","url":"https:\/\/morrowrecords.com\/products\/david-eugene-edwards-16-horsepower-wovenhand-mercurial-silence","provider":"Morrow Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
