PJ Harvey - Prayer At The Gate (Live At Manchester Albert Hall - 3 Oct 2023)

With any project of PJ Harvey’s, the attention to detail in nurturing ideas always seems to resonate so strongly. A really special night, this performance truly stunned the audience.
I worked a little in post-edit to try convey how evocative Polly’s performance was. Hope you enjoy it.

‘Prayer At The Gate’ is taken from PJ Harvey’s tenth studio album - ‘I Inside The Old Year Dying’. For me it’s another Mercury Music Prize nominee, beautifully produced by John Parish & Flood.
PJ Harvey (vocals/guitar/autoharp)
John Parish (guitar/keys/backing vox)
Jean-Marc Butty (drums/percussion/backing vox)
James Johnston (violin/keys/backing vox)
Giovanni Ferrario (bass/guitar/keys/backing vox)
From Apple Music:
“Written over the course of three weeks-one song a day-I Inside the Old Year Dying combines Harvey’s latest disciplines, lacing 12 of Orlam’s poems through similarly dreamy and atmospheric backdrops. The language is obscure but evocative, the arrangements (long-time collaborators Flood and John Parish produced) often vaporous and spare. But the feeling in her voice (especially on the title track and opener “Prayer at the Gate”) is inescapable.”
