PJ Harvey – Let England shake

cover

On PJ Harvey music I first met in 1993. As part of the grunge hype a little later was their third album "To Bring You My Love" a lot of attention. Its successor had "Is This Desire?" Deserved it, but it is also a very strong work. But all was right then surpassed by "Stories From The City, Stories from the Sea" in 2000. It is one of my favorite albums. This level reached the following works of the last decade, not again.

appeared few days ago, now with "Let England shake " the eighth studio album by the English woman. Counting the marked explicitly including collaborations with John Parish, one could even celebrate the tenth release. "Let England shake" was recorded in an old church in Dorset. To the side stood to her, in addition to John Parish Mick Harvey (Nick Cave-side kick) and Flood and to a large extent the troops, which is already providing for "To bring you my love" all the work.

The result: Great. located on table to their home country gathered PJ twelve songs, the one-dimensional to have quoted clearly in a dark direction and sometimes surprising variety and almost happy-sounding music can be thwarted.

given "The guardian "

There is always a risk that an album full of war poetry might feel like a downer. But the payload of grief on Let England Shake is made infinitely more bearable by music that really shakes, too.

"Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea" was perhaps a bit romantic and catchy, "Let England shake" the potential of these elements, in-depth and mystery has to beat. The NME awards 10/10 points . For my final verdict I need some more time. Each PJ Harvey fan, the album hopefully in his possession. Every indie rock fan should have access now, before he missed the end of 2011 one of the albums of the year.

The Rolling Stone describes the music as follows:

Somewhere between inclined folk, ethereal new wave and Patti Smith elegies, these pieces have established that Harvey wrote to one half on the Autoharp, the other on unusually tuned guitars and together with John Parish, Mick Harvey and Flood with a lot of sense for the atmosphere and space started. You can hear voices and instruments echo of the church walls, which gives the songs an air of eternity.

On passing from the collaboration with John Parish, a pattern, it is this: "solo album with John Parish," "collaboration album with John Parish," "Solo Album John Parish, album without John Parish. Consequently, would soon be back on "album without John Parish" due. The last was at the end of such a sequence "Stories From The City, Stories from the Sea." I'm interested to see whether PJ for a strong "Let England shake" may increase again.

The tour is already sold largely to the lady. For the 22.02. in Berlin there are probably still tickets.
