What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Mingus Rude feeling happy.


PJ Harvey: 'Piano' (Island) In which Polly embraces our idea of the Piano becoming the new guitar. Here, said instrument is combined with a gentle strum and the strains of Polly singing in a different key to her usual angst ridden ploy. Here, in this new approach adopted on the LP this track is taken from, there's a definite understatement evident in lyrics, instrumentation and voice.

What the label says:

The Piano, a new single from PJ Harvey, will be released on November 26th through Island Records.

The second single from PJ Harvey’s eighth studio album White Chalk, The Piano will be released on download and limited edition 7” vinyl.

The Piano will be backed with Heaven, a song written and recorded in 1988 during one of Harvey’s first ever recording sessions.

PJ Harvey’s much lauded album White Chalk was released in September this year. Recorded mainly on piano, White Chalk has been described as “a brave and brilliant refocusing of her energies” by Mojo, and as a “haunting mini masterpiece” by the Financial Times. White Chalk is available now through Island Records.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
