So very excited about the release of PJ Harvey’s latest LP, Let England Shake, next week (the same day as Mogwai release Hardcore Will Never Die But You Will; a busy week for us aging indie kids;) )

So stream it here!

The title track has evolved from the earlier performance last year when Polly Jean played it live on TV in front of none other than Gordon Brown (yes, you did read that right). the sample of ‘Istanbul (Not Constantinople)’ has gone and is replaced by the tune slightly lower in the mix than it was here

The single ‘The Words That Maketh Murder’ is out now – here’s the video:

…and you can read my review here. She’s also going to be preseneted with this year’s Outstanding Contribution to Music award at this year’s NME Awards.

Listen to the album and let me know what you think…
