Essentially Louisville, Kentucky's Will Oldham and a revolving cast of musicians, Palace (Music, Brothers, Songs--the name forever changes) play a bizarre mix of overheard mountain music and self-conscious indie-rock. Oldham warbles lyrics that are one-part traditional ballad and two parts stream-of consciousness, and the band doesn't always seem to have rehearsed the material. This is a collection of singles with five previously unreleased tracks and is an excellent retrospective of what Oldham does. "O How I Enjoy the Light, " "West Palm Beach" and "Gulf Shores" are as meditative and haunting as Palace gets. --Rob O'Connor
