I have a few guesses: "The Age of the Dollar", "Throwing Nothing" or "Sight-seeing". I think the latter goes particularly well with this conception of songs written after going to 3 different locations.

I think if that would have been the case, they would've already announced the title at the book launch, for example.

This coat of arms reportedly could be an album cover:

So it might be a self-titled album. Or it might be a time for "PJ Harvey's record" (Maria Mochnacz's suggestion for "Uh Huh Her").

My guess was "The Hollow of the Hand" too, but I have to agree with Kuk91. After the release of the book, the launch show and the video announcement, it seems unlikely.

My new guess is the album title will be a line from the song she performed in the video, The Ministry of Defence. And I have a feeling that song will be the album opener.

that coat of arm is very detailed, has something to do with the cover for me to
there's a poem about two headed dog in the book, the album title might be that poem: "Talking to Dog"

...as Evol for Love, is Dog for God? just saying

Interesting thought! I remember in some review of the book launch someone actually called (in fact, mistook) this poem "Talking to God", and I was really looking forward to read how would Polly talk to Him, but when the book came to me I realised it was "dog", but nonetheless ended up liking it very much, one of the best poems in the book IMO.

But yeah, she was talking to a regular dog - two-headed one is from "Begging Bowl". )))

Quite possible, actually. Photo of this poor building in Kabul was in the book, and reviewers of "Recording in Progress" were saying about Polly's drawing of that same building hanging on the wall (alongside the coat of arms), so it's probably a very important aspect for her. And if they put this drawing of hers on the cover - that would make total sense: "PJ Harvey (name of the painter / artist) - The Ministry of Defence (building depicted)".

That's very interesting, I didn't know about that drawing.
But just to be clear, I didn't mean "The Ministry of Defence" as the album title, but a line from that song. Maybe one we don't know yet.

Look, she has a crayon album and pencil (or pen) with her - apparently for doing sketches:

Although, maybe that's her notebook (but she still could make sketches there as well).

Chances are it will be one of the song titles, yeah?
Perhaps she’s going to be self-deprecating & call it “War Tourism.” :razz:

I'm fascinated by this coat of arms

two headed dog gives or takes a bowl to a goat while keeps a rifle in his paws
the goat in wrapped with bullets or rope and keeps three arrows
three stars, three keys, three...

3 birds according to this person:

"two-headed wolf that passed a food plate at the top of a shield (the main section of the coat of arms) to a skinny goat that wore a bullet belt. Under the shield, the wolf stepped on a rifle. The shield depicted three birds and three keys."

Not sure how she gets birds though. They look more like snails to me.
