about
POLARCHORAL is the 5th solo album by British art rock artist GRICE.
‘A sonic satellite is launched into the darkness’
GRICE presents his unique brand of sonic alchemy through a deeply personal set of powerful, intricate and emotionally challenging songs. The album explores the bi-polarity of personal relationships and ideologies, the attraction and division of people and the confusion, conflict and hurt prevalent in our times.
Polarchoral heads 'true North' in a search for reconciliation, unity and healing in a fractured and polarised world.

lyrics
LAPIS LAZULI
Goodbye to the dreams
no heart of gold
no feathered seams
breath in, it's over
Giving up my hand
my romanesque good fortune plans
and now its easy
Break before the the fall
I hesitate, I climb and stall
and loose direction
Tethered to the mast
and unconsoled into the past
and now its easy
Drown the maddened fool
the horses drinking from the pool
and now I'm sober
Breath in
Giving up my hand
Singe the burning fields
and lapis lazuli leaves
the world is freezing over
I need to walk around before I fly
I need to speak your language
or I'll die
I dedicate this music to the sky
to the sky
Goodbye to the dreams
no heart of gold
no feathered seams
breath in, it's over
Giving up my hand
my romanesque good fortune plans
and now its easy
Break before the the fall
I hesitate, I climb and stall
and loose direction
Tethered to the mast
and unconsoled into the past
and now its easy
Drown the maddened fool
the horses drinking from the pool
and now I'm sober
Breath in
Giving up my hand
Singe the burning fields
and lapis lazuli leaves
the world is freezing over
I need to walk around before I fly
I need to speak your language
or I'll die
I dedicate this music to the sky
to the sky

I have to restrain myself from being too effusive about 'Anyway, Still'. This is truly unique music of beautiful, beguiling power which resonates long after each listen. A true gift. I'll be eagerly awaiting all subsequent releases. Thank you Exit North.
