New Release: PJ Harvey- A Child’s Question, August

Ahead of her forthcoming tenth album, PJ Harvey releases this, her elegiac and beautiful new single, A Child’s Question, August. Working with Flood and John Parish, this bodes well for the album. It’s stunning, with a churning lyricism.

The video was created by renowned photographer Steve Gullick, and actor Ben Whishaw provides backing vocals. It seems to be a return to the quietude and introspection of White Chalk, but with Polly, you can never tell. I Inside The Old Year Dying will be released on July 7th via Partisan.
