NPR yesterday uploaded the entire new album by PJ Harvey "Let England Shake" and for the past few hours we can hear it here .
We eagerly have waited to listen to the new work of Polly Jean, since we have already fallen for the "The Glorious Land" and "The Last Living Rose". Q magazine has given it 5/5, Spin 9 out of 10 and Mojo, Uncut 4/5 to "Let England Shake". We will listen first and then say...
The album comes in just a week from now (15/02) and is the eighth work of PJ. As shown in the title, the lyrics of the songs relate to the political situation in England. It is not accidental what she says in "The Glorious Land": "Our lands are plowed by tanks and feet, feet marching." The title song, which starts the album has samples from the known single "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" by Four Lads.
