Title track from POLARCHORAL 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.
‘Conflict divides but also unites, without division there is no life'.
‘This is music for the Unconsoled and for those who may have lost direction. These are songs from the rain yet these are songs of hope, love and defiance. Creating this album has been a process of looking inward through the microscope as much as looking outward and upwards through the telescope into the universal’. G
