http://www.bbc.co.uk/6musicAlbum Of The Day + – PJ Harvey's Let England ShakeThursday 10 February
Throughout the day on BBC 6 MUSIC
BBC 6 Music presents Let England Shake, the new album from critically acclaimed singer/songwriter PJ Harvey. Tracks from her hotly anticipated album will be played in each show through the day and Polly Jean herself is in conversation with Steve Lamacq from 4pm.
As an extension to the station's Album Of The Day concept, where a different album, old or new, is played throughout the day, 6 Music's Album Of The Day + aims to exclusively showcase a soon-to-be-released album by a key 6 Music artist. Albums previously featured include Massive Attack's Heligoland and MGMT's Congratulations.

4.00-7.00pm BBC 6 MUSIC
Steve Lamacq catches up with the ever-enigmatic PJ Harvey on the inspiration behind her latest album, Let England Shake. In an in-depth chat with Steve, Harvey delves into her need to continually cover new ground, her attempts to act as a frontline "song correspondent" for international conflicts and her love of the Dorset countryside. She also reveals her continued reluctance to revisit old ground and the importance of setting to the writing process.
