It’s been 7 years since we last heard from PJ Harvey.

Her 10^th 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.

PJ Harvey

We never know quite what to expect from PJ Harvey and that’s one of the many reasons that makes her so interesting. Her music is demanding, but she opens so many new worlds. I remember seeing her perform in the early 90’s before a dozen or so people at a tiny club in the Boston area (TT the Bear’s) and have been mesmerized ever since.

Her eighth album Let England Shake is due on Valentine’s Day next year. The album was co-produced with Flood, John Parish and Mick Harvey (no relation), and we have a song from the new recording. PJ Harvey mesmerizes once again with “Written on the Forehead”.
