    PJ has captured my heart again. Just when I thought that I could not handle her annoying way of sounding a bit like Siouxsie, she comes out with a new album, Let England Shake. Believe me she has shaken me in a very good way. What I love about her is that she is not usually swayed about what is happening new in music. As a teen I have been a fan, but I am happy that she makes different music now. Now if we can get her to lay low on the Siouxsie bit, then it will be much better.

    My Dad likes it and so do I, a deserved Mercury Prize winning album, proves that this is quality rather than quantity...

    I dare to say that this album may well be at the top when 2011 is done.

Description

2011 album from the critically adored British singer/songwriter. Let England Shake was recorded in a 19th Century church in Dorset, on a cliff-top overlooking the sea. It was created with a cast of musicians including such long-standing allies as Flood, John Parish, and Mick Harvey. What is remarkable about Let England Shake is bound up with its music, its abiding atmosphere and in particular, its words. If Harvey's past work might seem to draw of direct emotional experience, this album is rather different. Its songs centre on both her home country, and events further afield in which it has embroiled itself. The lyrics return, time and again, to the matter of war, the fate of the people who must do the fighting, and events separated by whole ages, from Afghanistan to Gallipoli. The album they make up is not a work of protest, nor of strait-laced social or political comment. It brims with the mystery and magnetism in which she excels. But her lyric-writing in particular has arrived at a new, breathtaking place, in which the human aspects of history are pushed to the foreground. Put simply, not many people make records like this.
