GRICE releases New Single dedicated to Karl Wallinger - from the new album MORDANT LAKE. Release date: 5.7.24

KARL is dedicated to the late, great and sublimely wistful Karl Wallinger (World Party, The Waterboys) who sadly packed up and flew off from the planet this year. Written by GRICE whilst enduring ‘hurricane Karl’ and in residence at Swanston House in deepest darkest Devon.

KARL (Single teaser): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0GYvQ9JxEo
BANDCAMP: https://hungersleeprecords.bandcamp.com/track/karl-single 

Read Full story:

"The year 1998 found me buried deep in the deepest darkest heart of the Devon (shire) in Swanston House. 
This was the year that Hurricane ‘Karl’ swept in from the Atlantic and across the moors and knocked on the doors and windows of the nation.
I remember capturing the raging storm, recording its howls and whistles and the torrential rainfall which all feature on the track .
The song was born that night and then shelved until now.
It is also dedicated to the all inspiring enigma that is Karl Wallinger.
26 years on and the terrible news that Karl had passed away only aged 66 years.
I had met the man and seen him play a few times, most notably at Glastonbury festival in the late 90’s? 
when he honoured us and the acoustic stage with his World Party presence..
Ever the consummate professional, though he was being electrocuted every time he stepped up to the mic (yes it was a wet year) and power was lost, 
he continued the gig un-plugged… and it was great and wonderful in equal measures. I talked briefly to him after the show…but I remember no words (being under many influences at the time).

Karl Wallinger has been and is a true inspiration to me, not only for his wonderful poetry, song writing excellence and skill but also for his ability to write, 
produce and record the songs and release the albums himself…(enlisting the help of some awesome musicians) - he was the band, when the band were not available (playing all the instruments when needed).

There will * ‘follow days of kings, Empires and revolutions’ *
But as you say Karl… * ’Blood just looks the same When you open the veins’*
Where ever you may be... out measuring the stars…*
I will always cherish your music.

This one is for you Karl.' Gx

Highly Strung

GRICE - Highly Strung

Here is the well that they dug you
there neath the salt and the snow
pushing you in was the easy part love
pulling you out I don't know

All of the lies that they told you
are just like the ice on a stream
under the wright 
of the words they won't state
all of the things that they mean.

Siobhan’s early performances found her on the coffee house circuit of New York. From these beginnings she went on to play larger gigs both in America and at home, performing at festivals and folk clubs. Her first single ‘The Mermaid in Your Glass’, was on the top 10 Fresh Favs on BBC Radio 6 Music - Fresh On The Net and was played on BBC Radio Wales (Bethan Elfyn, Adam Walton), Radio Cardiff, newsoundwales, The Folk Pilot, CuillinFM, PhonicFM, Lonely Oak Radio, Symfozone Radio and Spotify playlists Double J, Big Tune IMR, Sweater Weather and more..

Reviews:
‘Oh Little Red’ bleeds with tension and the wonderfully arranged strings push and pull every last drop of feeling out of the piece. Folk Radio UK

‘Absolutely beautiful, just stunning, the voice is something else’ Adam Walton, BBC Radio Wales

‘There is a clear debt in Siobhan's sound to early Joni Mitchell albums. There is also a definite familiarity with late sixties British folk bands such as Fairport Convention and Pentangle in her cultural hinterland’ From the Margins

‘I was blown away by her voice, her guitar playing ... She really is something special’ Bethan Elfyn, BBC Radio Wales

Oh Little Red

From the album 'one thousand bird symphony by art rock musician, singer songwriter, producer GRICE released on hungersleep records, 5 March 2021

A study of feathered strength and Iridescence... 
birdsong for the fragile eggshell mind.

One thousand birds symphony is a collection of musical compositions and bird symphonies recorded and collated by the artist between March and December 2020. Constructed around field recordings of individual birdsong and exquisite choruses made from dawn 'til dusk whilst in isolation in deepest darkest Devon and inter-laced with thematic melodies and arrangements from his One Thousand Birds' album.

NOTES:

So the birds are hanging out on the telephone wires all around me taking in the Sun, preening. chattering. buzzing. glitching - The telephone wires create Staves - musical score lines which they populate and inhabit in a mischievous way. 
I took some photographs and video on my phone and realised they were adopting a melodic stance that I translated into a midi refrain and then develop the track around this thematic melody. 
There are a lot of bars of repeated refrain but I just wanted to celebrate the positions of the birds and the melody that it summoned. 

The Musicians: 
GRICE - acoustic & electric guitars, keys, piano, percussion, 
vocals, programming, sound design, bird mangling 
Duncan Chave - sound design, bird warping 
Eliza Carew - cello 
Al Swainger - bass guitars, pedals, french horn 
Fred Ehresmann - piano 
Luca Calabrese - trumpet
