POLARCHORAL is the 5th solo album by British art rock artist GRICE.
GRICE presents his unique brand of sonic alchemy through a deeply personal set of powerful, intricate and emotionally challenging songs.
Polarchoral heads 'true North' in a search for reconciliation, unity and healing in a fractured and polarised world.
I certainly wasn’t expecting to be reviewing highly consistent but unpredictable Alt Pop artist Grice Peters aka GRICE in the Folk & Country Fare section but that is what we have with 'Winter'. Bathed in early 70s style harmonies that could be The Byrds in a mash with Matthew Southern Comfort while Crosby Stills Nash & Young add chops, this is sophisticated Folk-Pop with a nostalgic but nonetheless refreshing aura. He certainly keeps us guessing what he will do next.” - Trust The Doc. Edition 78: 31st March 2023.
