The one and only PJ Harvey is set to release her eighth studio album, Let England Shake, on February 14, 2011 in the UK through Island/February 15, 2011 in the U.S. through Vagrant Records. The album was recorded in a 19th century church in Dorset with long-time collaborator Flood, who co-produced the album along with Harvey, John Parish and Mick Harvey. Hear a cut from the album entitled "Written On the Forehead" below (via pjharvey.net).
PJ Harvey - "Written On the Forehead"
Harvey sings gently, beautifully from the clouds, backed by a small but soulful choir and reggae-style chants of "blood and fire!" It's hypnotic with its ambient warmth and synthesizer flourishes and oscillations. The haunting ambiance is a perfect backdrop for Harvey's sweet and tender vocals. With its embracing atmosphere and well-arranged instrumentation, "Written On the Forehead" would suggest that Let England Shake is definitely one album to look forward to in 2011.
