I'd forgotten about the song with Carpenter Brut! Was that around the time he did the collab with Al Cisneros of Sleep/OM? I remember being excited about that one and then a bit underwhelmed when I heard it. It was 'okay', but not as good as either Wovenhand or Sleep.
I think the last Wovenhand Album I was seriously into was Star Treatment, I thought it was fantastic. I checked out Silver Sash but it didn't really grab me, it was a bit too, idk, industrial perhaps? I really loved the big rocking electric thing he had going from Laughing Stalk through to Star Treatment, songs like 'Long Horn', "Hiss' and 'Hired Hand'. Any time he straps the Gretsch on and the drums do the tribal thing I love it.
I'm really stoked that 16 Horsepower are back, Secret South is one of my all-time favorite albums. Do you think you'll get to see 16HP?
