PJ Harvey Returns With New Album I Inside the Old Year Dying, Shares Video for New Song: Watch

“A Child’s Question, August” leads the follow-up to 2016’s The Hope Six Demolition Project

PJ Harvey has announced her 10th studio album, I Inside the Old Year Dying. The follow-up to 2016’s The Hope Six Demolition Project is out July 7 via Partisan. The album is “a resting space, a solace, a comfort, a balm—which feels timely for the times we’re in,” Harvey says in a press release. Check out the Steve Gullick–directed video for “A Child’s Question, August” below.

Recorded with producers Flood and John Parish, her longtime collaborators, the album was inspired by Harvey’s epic poem Orlam. Harvey said the album features improvisations with the two producers. “I think the album is about searching, looking—the intensity of first love, and seeking meaning. Not that there has to be a message, but the feeling I get from the record is one of love—it’s tinged with sadness and loss, but it’s loving. I think that’s what makes it feel so welcoming: so open.”

Harvey has recently been reissuing her discography, including B-Sides, Demos & Rarities. Last summer she shared a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Who by Fire,” which featured in Sharon Horgan’s Bad Sisters series.
