About this album

Island 5 tracks (18:58)
A PJ Harvey / John Parish album (released 30 Mar 09 on Island). Their follow up to 1996’s Dance Hall At Louse Point. Recording was in Bristol & Dorset, with Flood mixing. This album is made up of ten new songs. Music written by Parish (who also plays most of the instruments) and lyrics by Harvey.

The first single from the album is Black Hearted Love which is described as having ‘anthemic grunge-pop guitars.’

The album has been described by journalist John Harris, as “…mischievous, deadly serious, elegant and poetic, and possessed of a brutal power – it is doubtful that you will hear a record as brimming with creative brio and musical invention this year…”

Running order and tracks missing above:
1. Black Hearted Love
2. Sixteen, Fifteen, Fourteen
3. Leaving California
4. The Chair
5. April
6. A Woman A Man Walked By / The Crow Knows Where All The Little Children Go
7. The Soldier
8. Pig Will Not
9. Passionless, Pointless
10. Cracks In The Canvas

Universal-Island Records Ltd. also seems to’ve uploaded A Woman A Man Walked By (streamable), as a PJ Harvey solo affair - odd!

    Greeeeaaat (from a no regular PJ listener). I would tag it as avant-garde, and I think that little girl PJ would be scared of it. ;)

    i love this album. Pig will not and a woman a man, are such strange song, they push expectations and perceptions and bring me back to listen again and again.

    I think it's really good. Just because you find it hard to listen to doesn't make it bad. Obviously Dance Hall is more cohesive, but I think album is far experimental, and I like that.

    What happened to them? Maybe they are extending their musical repertoire or their field of imagination, but I did not like a single tune of this album. It was hard to enjoy anything here. I liked these artists for a very long time now, but this is a weak performance for both of them. I am sorry for offending people who like this album...Please no polemic replies, it's just my opinion.

    As a whole I don't like the album, there isn't much cohesion. However, there are two or three tracks that do stand out as quality tracks - Black Hearted Love, Sixteen, Fifteen, Fourteen and Cracks In The Canvas. I personally prefer Dance Hall At Louse Point over this, however, this is not to say that A Woman A Man Walked By is terrible.

    I like it, it sounds better than their first one. But thats only after a few listens of the five songs featured, only time will tell. Cut it does sound better than the review on Pitchfork alluded to.
