PJ Harvey by Steve Gullick
PJ Harvey will be joined by Big Thief, Tirzah and Shida Shahabi.
PJ Harvey has announced a concert at Gunnersbury Park in London for Sunday, August 18th next year.
I’m grateful to Gunnersbury Park for inviting me to curate this event. I have chosen what I feel to be some of the most exciting artists working today. With them I hope to be able to give the audience an emotional, heartening and uplifting experience.
It comes after the release of her latest album I Inside the Old Year Dying back in July, which received a glowing 8/10 from Live4ever:
“The title-track, meanwhile, draws a direct link between the sprite we believe her to be and the disciples – Jehnny Beth, Anna Calvi et al – inspired by it.”
“The rest alternates between light and darkness, such that by the landslide like knotty closer A Noiseless Noise there is a sensation of things folding back into their former pattern; her fate unresolved, the final exhortations to Ira-Abel are: ‘Go home now love/leave your wandering.’”
