Grice & the Polarchoral band “Music of exquisite beauty from an artist of rare refinement” – PROG Art-rock artist, singer, songwriter, guitarist GRICE presents his unique brand of sonic alchemy through a deeply personal set of powerful and intricate songs. Following last year’s sold out show, GRICE returns to Exeter Phoenix with a new line-up: Robert Brian – drums (Siouxsie Sioux, Simple Minds, Goldfrapp) – Al Swainger – bass & Duncan Chave – programming. GRICE and the Polarchoral Band set co-ordinates for a journey through dark and sometimes challenging waters, gliding between neo-psychedelic rock, nuJazz, sophisticated pop and progressive rock, creating a cocktail of emotive songs mixed with hints of electronica and electroacoustic glitch set to a kaleidoscope of stunning visuals created by GRICE. ‘Powerful and defiant, these songs are sonic satellites launched into the darkness in search for unity, reconciliation and healing in a fractured and polarised world.’ G GRICE’s signature sound of art-rock and avant-pop synthesis have led to successful collaborations involving high profile musicians including Richard Barbieri (Japan, Porcupine Tree), Steve Jansen (Japan, Exit North), Hossam Ramzy (Peter Gabriel), Raphael Ravenscroft (Pink Floyd) and B J Cole (Elton John, Marc Bolan, Scott Walker). GRICE has been championed by Tom Robinson on BBC 6 Music and his album Polarchoral was voted Best Album of the Year in the Indie Prog Awards (NY).
