Mick Harvey has announced details of a new solo album, FOUR (Acts of Love), out on Mute on 29 April 2013. This is the former Bad Seed and PJ Harvey collaborator’s sixth solo studio album, and the follow up to 2011’s Sketches from the Book of the Dead.

The album’s release follows a series of dates including his first ever solo New Zealand tour in March and two sold out shows in St Kilda paying tribute to Roland S Howard, The Prince of St Kilda (http://www.facebook.com/StKildaMemo" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;). Mick Harvey has also announced a performance of interpretations of the songs of Serge Gainsbourg at ATP’s Yeah Yeah Yeahs curated I’ll Be Your Mirror on 4 May, and recently toured with Einstürzende Neubauten through Australia (Full details below, more European dates in support of the new album to be announced).

FOUR (Acts of Love) is a contemplation on romantic love – it’s loss, re-awakening, our ongoing struggles with it and its place in our universe. The album is a song cycle, divided into 3 Acts.

The album features original compositions by Mick Harvey alongside a song by long time collaborator PJ Harvey (‘Glorious’) and interpretations of The Saints’ ‘The Story of Love’, Van Morrison’s ‘The Way Young Lovers Do’, Exuma’s ‘Summertime in New York’ and Roy Orbison’s ‘Wild Hearts (Run Out of Time)’.

FOUR (Acts of Love) was recorded at Grace Lane, North Melbourne and Atlantis Sound, Melbourne and features regular collaborators Rosie Westbrook on double bass and JP Shilo on guitar and violin.

Super happy about this. It's a great song. Thanks for posting.

I believe it's from the ITD era. Its BMI publishing number is close to other known ITD tracks.

You can listen to "Glorious" here: http://thequietus.com/articles/12105-mi ... ts-of-love" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Very nice review Giuseppe! http://drownedinsound.com/releases/1760 ... ws/4146348" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

oh thanks Pluton. It is a beautiful record.

Can someone transcribe the lyrics of this song?

Glorious

A ruined man
Ruined man
Sun set on a seaside town
A lover's sigh
A lover ran
Through the barricades and swam
Hard as diamonds
Strong as steel
A love so deep
It will not heal
The horse won't eat
The bird won't sing
That princess she took everything
And the day will be glorious
And the night will fall over us
And the sea is calm
Hard as diamonds
Strong as steel
A love so deep
It will not heal
I love you inside
I love you out
A love so deep it can't be found
And the day will be glorious
And the night will fall over us
And the sea is calm

Mick Harvey was excellent at the Lexington in London last night. Polly was in the audience but unfortunately did not join him on stage.

Mick was indeed excellent at the Lexington.

Sadly, I missed Polly in the audience

received my signed copy of Mick's new album in the post from Mute today
