If any band can rightly be called a project, then I suggest it is Grails. One of many bands to come out of Portland, Oregon – a place which is consistently rated the best city in the world for mountain bikers to live, it is also a production line for alternative musical talent. The four fixed members of the band – all multi instrumentalists – Emil Amos, Alex Hall, Bill Slater and Zak Riles (who plays on only one track on this new album) have various side projects and other bands to which they belong - Om, Jackie O Motherfucker, M. Ward among others.
