I am so very behind the times when I need Rolling Stone to tell me that a tune from PJ Harvey's forthcoming piano-based record Under The Chalk has leaked onto the internet a month ago.
What the hell?
Luckily, the internet forgives and provides. Check out a rather transfixing performance of "When Under Ether" on YouTube or stream the leaked track at CK, and then head to Philly-based mp3 blog Some Velvet Blog to check out the cover and tracklist of Chalk.
I really like it. I'm looking forward to the huge number of Tori comparisons her record draws, as if PJ is suddenly a pianist - the entire point of her is that every album is completely different.
(Also discovered in my mad PJ hunt - The Yellow Stereo. Very good music writing, and taste.)
