Inspired by a group called “Greatest Album Covers,” I present one of my favorite album covers: PJ Harvey’s 4-Track Demos. I love the way this cover mirrors the songs themselves: it reveals PJ literally stripped-down, but still insanely stylish.
Click to the link to listen to a track from PJ Harvey’s forthcoming album Let England Shake. ”Written on the Forehead” is woozy (in a Cocteau Twins sort of way), surreal, and apocalyptic.

This song is a banshee wail of a tune: it comes on with sinister portents and ghostly insistence.
Two interview with PJ Harvey regarding her upcoming album, Let England Shake:
PJ Harvey, “The Words That Maketh Murder”
A little treat from Polly Jean’s forthcoming album. Is that an “ugly mug” she is sipping from in that beginning bit?

This is absolutely one of my favorite things. I’m going to have to listen to “Rid of Me” now.

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds with PJ Harvey, “Henry Lee”
Is it weird that I consider this both one of the most romantic songs ever *and* one of the sexiest videos ever? PJ and Nick Cave…cannot get enough of this. Happy Valentine’s Day, doomed lovers.
