P J Harvey's new album (1 Viewer)

[Psychotic no 2]

Has anyone heard it? Just had first listen today. Seems almost entirely piano-based and some of it sounds 4-tracked. Very different but I likey so far.

I think 'is this desire' was her highpoint. thought the last album was a bit 'pj harvey by numbers'. glad to hear shes gone and done something different tho. she was one of my favourite artists for years.

She was fantastic in Manchester last month. Very chatty.

Heres one of the new ones - 'The Devil'. She had to use a metronome cos shes an amateur on the piano and 'her right hand wanders like a lost sheep'

That's the opening track and one of the best ones as far as I can tell so far. She wears that dress on the album cover too. That song 'Silence' is track 7 and one of my faves so far too. Favourite overall record by her is To Bring You My Love. Karen O? Don't even go there. She's nothing without PJ.

I am so looking forward to the album...begs for miracle to happen before Sept 24.

Shes one of those few people who can re-invent every time. Ok theres loads I know but this album, based on the 4 new tracks she did in Manc where all on the joanna.

On the much better quality original of the video i posted, soon to be made into a dvd of that gig, you can see the whole dress has tiny hand written lyrics, not just the big 'lick' 'curls' etc.

My fave is the 4 track Demos. First one i acquired.

when i was a young lass living on a farm in yorkshire all isolated and stuff i used to listen to john peel and tape songs off the radio and listen to those tapes over and over - one of the most amazing songs i heard was water by pj harvey.

i think just because it was so not the norm at the time and i was discovering alternative, dark sounds 'dry' will always be my favourite pj harvey album.
The whole album is just pure excellence.

 

[Jim Daniels]

Yeah, its deadly. I used to listen to Water all the time too.

And I really love the actual song Dry - it appeared on some later album.
