The Garden, a PJ Harvey Discussion Site

wow, this is probably the most different from the live version we heard last year.

thanks for posting all the reviews! seems to be a lot more than there was for LES

"“What I've seen - yes, it's changed how I see humankind,” she sings on “A Line In The Sand”.".

Also they misinterpret "Near the Memorials to Vietnam and Lincoln".

Just listened to the studio version of "Losing Ground" - it sounds EXACTLY like it was produced for this new record. )))

Thanks for Chain of Keys. It's my least favorite of the 5 so far.

Thanks for "Chain Of Keys"! I really love it. One of my favourite from what we heard from the new album (with The Wheel). It reminds me a lot that Jazz Funeral from New Orleans with a perfect blues riff. The end of the song with those samples of chains and traditional choirs is excellent. It's a very nice evolution in PJ music. I can't wait to listen it with a good quality sound.

I find live version of Chain of keys a bit more impressive. but it's still good though
Can't wait to hear River Anacostia

I agree, I like the live one a big more. But I only heard this version so far in my car not very loud.

Thanks for all the updates guys!
I'm really enjoying all the new songs, especially Medicinals. I must have heard it at least fifty times by now, I'm in love with the saxophone part

Chain of Keys is my least favourite so far but with all Polly songs I don't care for much on the fist listen... I almost always grow to appreciate them later.

Only two-ish days until release!

Does anybody else think the vocals seem a bit weird on chain of keys? Maybe just the quality, but it almost doesn't sound like her.

OMG!

I just found out Seamus is doing a talk at my university on May 18th! Got my tickets - it's gonna be so interesting and may even get to ask questions/talk to him!
