Back to the weekly pull from the "new" stack. Picked this one up based on one of you guys. I never remember who. I
have a PJ Harvey album from 1995 titled To Bring You My Love. This album is nothing like that one. Is this the same
artist, lol. The earlier one was Alanis for me, whereas this one is more Kate Bush territory. Stepping into the
performance art arena. This just squeaks into the like range for me. Would take some listening to grow. This is her
eighth album and it got a lot of praise in England, where she has always been more popular than here. PJ admits this
is a departure for her, just learning to play the autoharp which is used quite a bit, and even her vocal style. The
album was nominated for multiple awards for the year, taking down Englands coveted Mercury prize, and made quite a
few best of the year lists. Wish I could say it was as good for me. Didn't love anything and did not like four of
the twelve tracks. Went to #8 in the UK, #4 in Australia, #23 in Canada, and #32 in the US.
