Add Date: February 15
Artist: PJ Harvey
Album: Let England Shake
Label: Vagrant
Genre: Rock
Comments: PJ Harvey's eighth album, Let England Shake, is a creative, eclectic output which sees the multitalented Polly Jean thrive. While the album is apparently focused on discussing the political situation in England, the message isn't heavy-handed, and while some of the urgency of the topic comes through in Harvey's vocal intonations, it's not overwhelming. Harvey returns to her guitar base, basically ditching the piano from her recent records, and also experiments with an autoharp--offset by occasional horns, and the sound is pleasantly serious. The ambience is slightly desolate, but also gritty--overall, an excellent return to form. Start with tracks 4, 6 and 8.
