Grice "Polarchoral" CD (NEW ARTIST)

Grice - Polarchoral (CD)
From Our Friends at Dutch Music Works

Polarchoral is Grice's 5th solo album.

It is a set of powerful, intricate and emotionally challenging songs which explore 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. This is music for the Unconsoled, songs from the rain that speak of hope, love and defiance.

"Conflict divides but also unites, without division there is no life. 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". Grice
