David Eugene Edwards has recently announced his first-ever solo album under his own name. The album will be titled Hyacinth. Edwards has also shared the lead single and video from the album “Lionisis.” The video was directed by Loic Zimmerman.

Edwards shares his thoughts:
“’Hyacinth’ was a sort of vision. A dream. I sought out of my old wooden banjo and nylon string guitar a hidden path. Secrets they had kept from me within themselves all these years, and created a new mythos to myself of philosophical and spiritual ideas or concepts.”
He adds:
“Overall, I guess the album is a weaving of narratives ancient and modern, of humankind’s search for understanding of this world we find ourselves in and of each other. In all its simplicity and complexity. ‘Hyacinth’ is a reference to the Greek myth of Apollo and the word meaning a precious stone and blue larkspur flower of purple and pall.”
