Tune of the Week: Palace Music

Will Oldham is the glue between alt-rock and alt-country. He has recorded with post rockers Tortoise and ambient synthists Bitchin Bajas. Appalachian folk permeates many of his compositions. This song exemplifies the blending of the two styles. As the tune goes on the instrumentation and performances get more and more intense leading to a climax that demands to be blasted. Rock on, Bonnie “Prince” Billy!
