The Plain Where The Palace Stood

Description

The return of an iconic figure from the US indie scene! *The Plain Where The Palace Stood* is David GRUBBS' sixth solo album. A legendary figure on the US scene, David GRUBBS has influenced many current bands through his past groups Squirrel Bait, Bastro, and Gastr del Sol. He also played with The Red Krayola and dabbled in avant-garde free-jazz through incendiary collaborations with Mats Gustafsson. This first album since 1998 marks a return to more pop and accessible music after all these years dedicated to more experimental music, marked by collaborations with Mats Gustafsson, Tony Conrad, Loren Connors, John McEntire, Noël Akchoté, Stephen Prina, Quentin Rollet, Nikos Veliotis, Susan Howe, Andrea Belfi, and Stefano Pilia. *The Plain Where The Palace Stood* is an album where the music flows, ethereal. The arrangements are subtle and marked by the influence of Oren Ambarchi, Scott Walker, Talk Talk, and even Sunn O))). *The Plain Where The Palace Stood* marks the return to grace of a major artist of our time!
