Last week, when P.J. Harvey’s new album, Let England Shake, was first playing on my laptop, I admitted to my friend that I knew pretty much nothing about P.J. Harvey. Somehow, her music has just escaped me. Well, Let England Shake is the kind of album that makes me regret that, big time.
For the title track, we get some creepy dolls, Harvey’s sincere face, a carnival, a potential boating accident, and, most importantly, a damn fine song. I’m going to go look-up some P.J. Harvey torrents, now.
