PJ Harvey - I Inside the Old Year Dying

At times I Inside's generally mesmerizing music comes off as an afterthought to Harvey's poetry.

Buke and Gase - "Dress" (PJ Harvey Cover)

Perhaps the most interesting installment in the Our First 100 Days compilation so far is Buke and Gase's interpretation of PJ Harvey's very first single "Dress." The structure and spirit of the Dry cut is at the heart of the cover, though Arone and Aron's custom instruments imbue a heavy crunch and industrial quality into the riffing.

PJ Harvey - “Shaker Aamer”

Singer-songwriter PJ Harvey is no stranger to speaking her mind about whatever is ailing the world today. That was actually one of the largest selling points of her last full-length album, Let England Shake, which you can catch a review for far down below.

Lyrically, PJ forgoes her usual poetics for some pretty straightforward descriptions of the situation at hand, mentioning feeding tubes, hunger strikes, guards, and a restraining chair. Sonically, tune is pretty sound. The guitars and pained vocals will surely entice fans of Let England Shake--even if the vocal reverb is a little overbearing at times.

It's the message that's emphasized here, obviously. Even the title is in reference to a British National who is currently being held at the camp. Though I don't think this is one of Harvey's most dazzling songs, I am glad to hear someone in the music community commenting on this.
