PJ Harvey has digitally released a previously unused track from the ‘Hope Six Demolition Project‘ sessions.
‘Guilty’ was recorded as part of Harvey’s latest studio album sessions back in January 2015 during the month long ‘Recording In Progress’ residency at London’s Somerset House and is now available from all the usual online sources.
Despite the years of critical acclaim and Mercury Prize triumphs, ‘The Hope Six Demolition Project’ delivered PJ Harvey her first UK number one album upon its release earlier this year.
“This is Harvey’s homily, emboldened by empirical stints on the streets, on the state of today’s world,” our review reads. “Attempts to hold up a mirror to the elite’s face with a set of contentious (and some of her finest to date) songs are likely to be met with as much protest as the protest in them; after all, what does a singer know about politics? But it’s an artist’s prerogative to poke when others just look.”
