‘Music of exquisite beauty from an artist of rare refinement’ – PROG
‘Gorgeously epic’ – BBC 6 Music
‘Polarchoral is a beautiful, dramatic, thought-provoking album, and in a world that currently seems to dwell in negativity, it offers hope’ – The Progressive Aspect

Art-rock artist 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 band new line-up of musicians, who have also played on his 2 most recent albums: Robert Brian on drums (best known for his work with British punk artist Siouxsie Sioux), Al Swainger on bass who brings a rich blend of versatility and depth to the performance and programmer Duncan Chave who triggers production elements, virtual samples and mangled loops into the live show helping to create intense musical landscapes.

Charged with pop sensibility and art-rock energy, GRICE and the Polarchoral Band set co-ordinates for a journey through dark and sometimes challenging waters, gliding between neo-psychedelic rock, nuJazz and art rock, creating a cocktail of emotive songs mixed with hints of electronica and electro-acoustic glitch set to stunning visual projections and films created by GRICE.

‘Polarchoral is a sonic satellite 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 with his profile musicians: 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). He is currently working on a brand new album ‘Filter’ which features Richard Barbieri and David Torn.
