Still soaking it all in after only a few listens, rocks harder overall than any of the Wovenhand (or Woven Hand) solo records in the past, some of it almost like when 16 Horsepower used to let it all loose. One of their most varied musical releases too. Moments when you can almost picture Nick Cave in his days with PJ Harvey, riding with the ghost of Joy Division. Sin, salvation, and the power of the Lord. Powerful stuff. Not really anyone else making rock music like this. Jason Molina, sometimes, but he doesn't really go for that same atmosphere, the grandeur David Eugene Edwards seems to achieve so often.

Then he slows it all down on the second side with the crooner cover of "Corcovado" from Getz/Gilberto, sandwiched between the bluesy "White Knuckle Grip" and the short but kickin' ass (native) Indian chant of "Kicking Bird" ... nice

Pretty nice flat and quiet vinyl from Sounds Familyre in NJ, just like the previous Mosaic. Maybe not for your average bear, but ... bears aren't really all that smart. This message has been approved by someone.
