The Palace Brothers

Known alternately as Palace, Palace Songs, and Palace Brothers, this outfit is the project of guitarist/vocalist Will Oldham. Palace Brothers takes the harsher side of country and folk and reworks it into devastatingly spare, intense indie rock. Oldham's voice whimpers and whines like a centegenarian, and the simplicity and effortlessness of the songs suggest that they are timeless. While Palace Brothers are definitely a high concept group, the music speaks for itself. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
