Album Notes & Community Reviews
PJ Harvey's 2016 concept album is a raw and political work of art rock and alternative folk. Recorded as a public art installation, it features conscious, poetic lyrics that serve as a protest against war and urban decay, delivered with her distinctive vocal style over lush, anthemic arrangements.
