Art rock artist GRICE has built his reputation since 2012 with his debut album ‘Propeller’ (MPG Awards). His music has has been championed on BBC Radio 6 Music (Tom Robinson) and his albums have received highly positive reviews from UK & European press (PROG, The Musician).
Melding electro-acoustic glitch, neo-psychedelic rock, NuJazz and sophisticated pop, GRICE creates with ‘Mordant Lake’ a challenging cocktail of emotive songs mixed with hints of electronica and art rock country-soaked Americana, underpinned by his expressive vocals.
Mordant Lake is ‘dedicated to all tribes who have been (and continue to be) forcibly displaced and who remain stateless’.
GRICE is joined on stage by the ‘Mordant Lake band’ featuring his brother Jim Iz (Invisible Opera Company of Tibet) on keys and vocals, Dave Costello (The Letters) on bass and vocals, Tony Plato on drums (Jackdaw Music/John Matthias) and Duncan Chave (programming).
‘GRICE makes music of exquisite beauty’ – BBC Radio 6 Music
‘Vocally Grice mixes the intensity of mark Hollis (Talk Talk) with a Beatle-esque sweetness’ – Writings on Inner culture
Described as “a singer who is gifted with one of the finest voices in contemporary UK folk music”, Siobhan crafts songs of intensity and sweetness, recounting personal stories whilst reflecting a vivid fascination with dark folk tales and superstitions.
