Grails is an instrumental rock band from Portland, Oregon, who blend various styles and creative instrumentation into their sound.  Their sound can at times be described as ambient, psychadelic, dark and doomy, improvisational, Eastern-tinged, and folk-influenced. 

Grails is an extremely entertaining live band, even if you’ve never heard their music before.  Members frequently switch instruments, and the band also utilizes various unconventional percussion instruments, such as shakers and tambourines.  The diversity and complexity of Grails’ sound comes across suprisingly well in a live environment, resulting in performances that are both unique and powerful.
