Arise Therefore is the fourth studio album by Will Oldham. It was released in 1996 under the moniker Palace Music, although sometimes credited simply to "Palace". The album features David Grubbs, Ned Oldham, and a Mayatone drum machine credited as "Maya Tone". It was recorded by Steve Albini at Pachyderm Studio in Cannon Falls, Minnesota.

Kurt Wolff of AllMusic praised the lyrics, calling them "beautiful in their stark, pale honesty as often as they are indecipherable." - Wikiededia

Viva Last Blues is the third studio album by Will Oldham. It was released under the moniker Palace Music on Drag City in 1995. The album features Oldham on vocals and guitar, and was recorded by Steve Albini.

Review by Peter J. D'Angelo

This incarnation of Palace, one of its more impressive, sees frontman Will Oldham turning out some of the strongest bleak country-rock in his career and taking the music in a few intriguing and even upbeat directions. With a great supporting cast that includes, among others, Sebadoh's Jason Loewenstein on drums and Oldham's brother Ned on bass, the group busts out laid-back twangy tunes that can really rock when the opportunity comes up. Most notably, tracks like "Work Hard/Play Hard" and the opening "More Brother Rides" are brimming with energy that may not overwhelm, but certainly provides a hefty backbone...

Rid Of Me

PJ Harvey releases her second album on May 4, 1993. It was recorded at Pachyderm Studio in Minnesota and engineered by the legendary Steve Albini. His "spartan" and abrasive style fit PJ well. Rid Of Me drew widespread praise and Rolling Stone put it at #406 on its "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list. #pjharvey #ridofme #90srock #altrock #indierock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #stevealbini
