PJ Harvey has announced her tenth studio album: I Inside the Old Year Dying is out July 7 via Partisan Records. The follow-up to 2016’s The Hope Six Demolition Project was produced by longtime collaborators Flood and John Parish. To accompany the news, Harvey has shared a new single, ‘A Child’s Question, August’, alongside a music video directed by Steve Gullick. Check it out below and scroll down for the LP’s cover artwork and tracklist.
The new songs, Harvey said in a press release, “all came out of me in about three weeks,” and are meant to offer “a resting space, a solace, a comfort, a balm – which feels timely for the times we’re in.” She added: “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.”
