Grice - Polarchoral (2022)

The fourth album from this band from England.

Grice is Jim Peters on guitars, bass, synths, keyboards and vocals.

He got help from around a dozen of guests who provided drums, percussion, bass, uillean pipes, strings, woodwinds, guitars, autoharp, vocals, synths and programming.

I revivewed the second album Alexandrine (2015) back in September 2016 for # 1 of this blog and was not impressed. 

I bypassed their third album before I plunged into the water again with the fourth album. 

The music on this well over an hour long album is a mix of ambient music, Arabic and Middle East folk music and some modern pastoral rock.

The songs are slow. Very slow. 

The quality is good though. Seventy minutes of this music is a trial though and a test. Nevertheless, this is still a good album and one for those who really appreciate slow pastoral music.
