I Inside the Old Year Dying is PJ Harvey ’s tenth album, and her first in seven years. Throughout her career, she has always ensured that each phase of her progress has taken her somewhere new, but her latest music is audacious and original even by her own standards. Full of a sense of a cyclical return to new beginnings, it combines its creative daring with a sense of being open and inviting, in the most fascinating way. The new songs, Harvey says, offer “a resting space, a solace, a comfort, a balm - which feels timely for the times we’re in.”
PJ Harvey has released nine studio albums to date, her most recent being The Hope Six Demolition Project in 2016, which earned her her first UK #1 album. Other releases include the platinum-selling album Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea (2000), as well as gold-selling albums To Bring You My Love (1995) and Let England Shake (2011). PJ Harvey is the only artist to win the Mercury Music Prize more than once: first in 2001 with Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea and again in 2011 with Let England Shake.
