And Alison Moyet. I remember her being interviewed for a questionnaire in, I think, the Independent back in 2007 and it is obvious from her comments that she liked the 'White Chalk' album. I found the comments on another site:
What do you think of the music scene in 2007? Which of the new crop of singers do you admire?
"When I'm making an album I don't tend to listen to much music. Truth be told, I'm not a great consumer of it anyway. My two latest albums have been Marry Me by St Vincent and PJ Harvey's White Chalk, which is a great record and is on morning and evening here at the moment."

'A very different album – a piano album, which isn’t Polly Harvey’s first instrument. However, that really helps make for great music. All too often when musicians are over-accomplished, things become too complicated. This is intense, beautiful and completely compelling.'

I can't remember his exact words but he is definitely a big fan.
