Nothing Harvey has done in the past, however, can prepare you for her eighth album, White Chalk, whose cover is as singular as the tunes therein.
-
Beautiful, arcane, unsettling--and that's only the cover. White Chalk isn't so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world.
-
This yet again reveals PJ Harvey to be one of the UK's greatest contemporary songwriters.
-
As usual, the excellent mix--opaque but sunlit--helps; as usual, we eagerly await her next album.
-
With its bones on show and chest wide open, White Chalk may not be the greatest album of all time, it may not be to everyone's tastes, and it may not even be Polly’s finest. But let it and it'll haunt you.
-
Frustratingly, though, White Chalk isn't consistent enough to be a classic PJ album, and if you're new to her music, this isn't the ideal place to start.
-
The painful White Chalk is either a studio experiment gone horribly wrong or a crafty bit of career self-sabotage by a sensitive artist who'd rather make sculptures in the desert than play pop star.

mathewB.Oct 6, 2007A must for long-time fans. Musically, very different, but thematically very consistent with her previous work.
