Come with Fierce Grace is the sixth studio album by British saxophonist Alabaster DePlume, released on 8 September 2023 through International Anthem Recording Company.
[1] John Lewis of The Guardian found it to be "a looser, more eclectic counterpart" than Gold, remarking that DePlume "surrounds himself with fine musicians who push his simple songs into more challenging territory".
[9] Uncut opined that "this soulful, spiritual, experimental collection is a rich testament to the chemistry of collaboration", while Mojo stated that "Fairbairn's side-of-mouth playing is extraordinary bucking the universal post-millennial effort to out-blast Coltrane, in favour of beautifully gentle explorations which are both intrepid and sublimely calming".
[6] Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Thom Jurek claimed that, "Given its laid-back, eerily nocturnal sonic profile, Come with Fierce Grace is easy to embrace on its own -- even if some tracks lack distinctive identities.
No matter its release as a separate entity, Come with Fierce Grace is part and parcel of GOLD; it's not a mere sequel but a truly worthy companion album."
