Agree. I love them so much. This, Let England Shake, and White Chalk, have been my favorites out of all the demos.bruise wrote:I'm amazed, in my opinion some of these demos are even better the album version!

The Orange Monkey demo sounds like 1980s synthpop, wich is a fascinating finding.bruise wrote:I'm amazed, in my opinion some of these demos are even better the album version!

One more deep dive into the reissues by Matthew Barton, covering Let England Shake and The Hope Six Demoliton Project:DrDark wrote:Some really excellent reviews of the demos by Matthew Barton:

I had half-convinced myself that that was it for PJ Harvey’s recording career as it was, a feeling reinforced by this reissue campaign that, while certainly welcome and beautifully done, felt like more of a looking back than one is used to with PJ Harvey.
But maybe one has to look back to look forward. Much time has now elapsed since Harvey’s most recent two LPs. Indeed, the gap between Let England Shake and the present day is longer than that between her debut album Dry (1992) and the Mercury-winning Stories. The six years since Hope Six are the longest we’ve gone without new recorded Harvey material.
Everything is pointing towards something bold and new in the future and, having followed Harvey through mercurial twists and turns over three decades, we must not second-guess what she might have come up with. We’d probably be wrong.
Well, to be honest, my understanding wasn't that it was supposed to be an album of previously unreleased material, but more of a compilation of already-released B-sides and non-album tracks – just bundled together as PJ Harvey's Archives or whatever – but yeah, it seems pretty unlikely now. I mean, it could still be released sometime in autumn/winter 2022, just to keep the book-to-album momentum going, but I'm not getting my hopes up – I think we would have heard something about it by now?bruise wrote:Do you guys still believe there will be an album of unreleased material, as we discussed all along, to wrap up the reissue campaign?
It just dawned on me that with the publishing of Orlam, the book tour, the book reissue on October and the unofficial announcement of the new album next year, the idea seems unlikely.
I obviously hope otherwise and that she proves me wrong.
