 The Emerging Voice of Woven Hand...
Submitted on: 2007-06-22 |
|
Pure tribute to a culture and a sound that has more character than modern tastes appreciate.
This album is somewhere between classic 16 Horsepower and the Woven Hand Mosaic album in terms of intensity and wooden sobriety (both are good traits - just different in pace and tone).
This is one of a very few albums I let repeat for the year that I wrote my book. It makes me miss the Fox Theater in Boulder and the Blue Bird in Denver. |

| Although I'm a big fan of 16 horsepower, I was really disappointed by this release. I did not find a single song on this cd to be very strong or memorable, though the other positive reviews led me the believe that this was one of their best, and darkest cds. By "darkest" I was hoping the reviewers also meant the hard hitting, nail bitingly powerful songs like some of the "dark" songs on his other cds. Not so. It wasn't exactly a horrible cd, just not something I'll waste my time listening to very much. If you're new to 16 HP start out with Low Estate or Sackcloth n' ashes, and don't judge this great band by one bad cd. |

| I just got this and I dig the hell out of it. A few of the songs are sort of up tempo and contrast to the rest of the album, which is very much American Southern Dark Folk/Gothic. Like Lucero with all the lights off, or a lamenting ILCK's. I gave it 4 of 5 because I don't like the few Irish-ish drinking jigs. Where I live you hear way to much of that. |

Gothic Americana Music - Haunting and Spiritual
Submitted on: 2006-10-08 |
|
Sixteen Horsepower is an amazing blend of Alternative Rock, Americana, Goth, and Punk. This band from Denver combines vocals that are part goth, part punk, and part Cold Mountain-like Americana with tripy strings, anthem-like drums, a haunting piano, and a whole host of traditional instrumentations. The entire mix is a riveting experience is in the category I call Gothic Americana.
Folklore is one of their most recent albums; it is a mesmerizing and haunting album that brings forth the image of a haunted house from Appalachia in the late 1800s. These ten songs set you down unexpectingly into empty country fields where a couple of dead bodies litter the ground around a burning wagon; into a rustic cabin with the creepy feeling that something bad has happened here.
These songs are at the same time haunting and spiritual. Sixteen Horsepower are the darker side of belief revealed.
