The solo project of Sao Paolo's Farmer Williams isn't related to the Will Oldham outfit--though the Bonnie Prince would approve of this Palace's professed use of "cheap instruments." He'd probably dig Williams's tunes, too: they're gloriously broke-down scufflers that are as anti as folk can get.
Palace Hotel is a one-man band formed in 2002 by Farmer Williams, who plays and sings at cheap studios using cheap instruments.
