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.
