Alternative Country, Neofolk, Rock, Folk Rock, Limited edition 2LP+CD kiadvány verzió, 2016-os album.
About 14 years ago Wovenhand showed it’s first sign of life with their self-titled debut album. David Eugene Edwards’ main band 16 Horsepower was still active at that time, but their three members were slowly drifting apart. Yet in the same year they still managed to release „Folklore” – a blistering album and their studio swansong. Long since has the former solo-project stepped out of 16 Horsepower’s long shadow.
While Wovenhand ought to be a familiar name to anyone interested in forward-thinking music, the album title „Star Treatment” isn’t a reference to our celebrity culture obsession. Rather, it’s a clever reference to concepts of astrolatry, or humanity’s enduring interest in the stars of the night sky: „It’s ethereal in its concept” – Edwards explains. „There are many layers, as always. I’ve been paying attention to the stars in the sky and in literature, and it’s a theme throughout the album.”
The current lineup includes: guitarist Chuck French, bassist Neil Keener (both of Planes Mistaken For Stars) and drummer Ordy Garrison, now joined by piano/synth player Matthew Smith (Crime & The City Solution). „Star Treatment” was recorded at Steve Albini’s legendary Electrical Audio in Chicago with engineer Sanford Parker, who also helmed Wovenhand’s 2014 album „Refractory Obdurate”.
