Biography
Known alternately as Palace, Palace Music, and Palace Brothers, this outfit may be the project of guitarist/vocalist Will Oldham. Palace Brothers will take the harsher aspect of nation and folk and reworks it into devastatingly extra, intense indie rock and roll. Oldham’s tone of voice whimpers and whines such as a centegenarian, as well as the simpleness and effortlessness from the songs claim that they are classic. While Palace Brothers are a high idea group, the music talks for itself.
