The panoramic and introspective One Thousand Birds is the third album by art rock musician Grice.
Written, arranged and produced by Grice, the 13-track album features contributions from Steve Bingham (no-man) and sonic luminary Richard Barbieri (Japan, Porcupine Tree) who adds his unique signature sound to the album's title track.
CD in 6 panel digisleeve with 8-page booklet. Signed by Grice.
’Grice's rich plaintive voice, sometimes redolent of the late, great Mark Hollis, is backed by supremely evocative brass and strings accompaniment with help from notable collaborators including former Japan/P-Tree man Richard Barbieri.’ - Prog Magazine
