The Oedipus Project
It’s been 7 years since we last heard from PJ Harvey.
Her 10th album, I Inside the Old Year Dying, is due in July.
“A Child’s Question, August” is her advance offering.
P.S. I first experienced PJ Harvey years ago at a small club in Boston/Cambridge with about 11 other people. Iconoclastically fascinating as always.
