Talent beyond words! Some of these songs sound other worldly like Gregorian chants coming out of one person. She's a chameleon... changing with each record. True artist!
What I love so much about P.J. is how eclectic a songwriter she is -- how each album sounds different from the one before -- how masterful she is at the different ways she manifests her talent as a musician, writer, lyricist and performer! I loved White Chalk the moment I played the album for the first time (as I do all albums by P.J., for that matter but especially-so with respect to this one) -- for how much of a departure it was from previous records being that it was so minimalistic with just herself, her voice and a piano!
She is so special and masterful in being eclectic, isn't she? Actually, White Chalk was the one that really turned me on to her. I respected her before that, but somehow I didn't feel it was my thing. Then WC came out and I was blown away - so much depth and diversity and feeling. So I embarked on this exploration journey of what she had ever done..... And I never looked back. Now WC is probably still in my top 5, but the number one spot keeps changing. I not always like her new stuff, but I do like it that she truely never repeats herself. So if the latest album is not exactly my cup of tea, who am I to judge - it might be her favourite or the one that opens someone else's mind and stick in there. :)
Listening to her talking about the creative process of this album made me listen to it carefully for the first time now. Yeah... it is something from hell, actually. Frighteningly sad and beautiful at the same time.
It's very hard for me to rank PJ Harvey's albums, they are all very good and important to me. But there's something about this one that hits me so hard... simply amazing work!!!!!!
Boy, whoever is with her (and we all know someone must be with her) must be very confident in themselves. Her myriad of talents must be quite humbling to be around. Like, they would just have to know not to compare themselves against her. It would be intimidating for 95% of men most likely, but not all. I wish she hadn't become so focused on words at that point where she started reading poetry. I listen to Sylvia Telles all the time. I have no clue what Sylvia is saying in most of her songs (I don't speak Portuguese), but I love her singing - so much, and I listen, frequently. Totally agree with the interviewer that she's a huge inspiration - for millions. I think should be for Billions as she's very under recognized (here in US anyways - pretty much only college radio stations).
I love her, she is my most influential person next to Thom Yorke. So well spoken, intelligent and honest
yes. two genius type of musicians
Leave my Pj alone,she is mine not yours lol.I have to say you have good music taste tho…..

What a beautiful mind she is!
45:55 Greatest live performance I've seen/heard of this great song yet...
Great interview in the middle of this
Mathew Lees It really is.
She's perfect creator🥰or creator of perfect
Such beautiful, truly beautiful songs. Tracks from White Chalk even more stripped back.
Listening to her talking about the creative process of this album made me listen to it carefully for the first time now.
Yeah... it is something from hell, actually.
Frighteningly sad and beautiful at the same time.
Fantasticly underrated album. One of the most melancholic and beautiful albums of our time
The G.O.A.T.
I love her. I lOve her. I lurv her. Her voice is so commanding. Knocks me the fuck out.
September 08, this album and missy L.J.D. I still miss those days.
What a legend .
Easily the most underated composer out there ...
I bet she could write meshuggah songs if she wanted to ...
PJ Harvey and Andy Partridge of XTC are the two most underrated composers that I can think of (but they are NOT underrated by musicians.)
the song ‘before departure’ from this record uses similar rhythmic concepts
te amo polly 🖤
Kinda sad she wrote 60 songs for White Chalk and all we got for B-sides were two early compositions

Just stumbled across this and wow! Thank you for posting. It brings the songs from White Chalk to life completely.

I feel real again. Thank you, Ms. Harvey.

White Chalk is my favourite album of hers something so ghostly about it.
Endlessly interesting PJ Harvey.
xxx.
Songs from her album White Chalk : 8th album of the year by the magazine MOJO. Greats!
Yow P J 🙃
OMG it's Public Radio from Parks and Recreation!
Before the HD changeover
I broke the glass.
back when kcrw played good music
P-J. Doesn't have to reinvent herself - she is - Queen of the Nu-Blues ... And few musicians - inside are close to this musical ether

👍👍👍💓💓💓🙏🙏🙏
The white chalk songs get me so deep, its weird.
what is she playing during Nina In Ecstasy? anyone know what the instrument is?
omnichord
It's an omnicock big man
