This Mess We’re In

Here’s the latest on the duet with PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke from Music365.co.uk:

PJ HARVEY’s new album is to be called ‘Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea‘ and is to be released in October, Music365 can reveal.

The album is to feature 12 tracks, including a duet withRadiohead frontman Thom Yorke called ‘This Mess We’re In‘. No other track titles have been announced as yet.

In a statement on her website Harvey says of the album: “It’s a wide variety of music, from quite gentle stuff to quite aggressive sounding sorts of music. There’s a wide range of different emotions going on in this album as I like to get as much light and shade into a record as I can.”

The record was recorded at Great Linford Manor in Hertfordshire and was produced by Polly Harvey, Rob Ellis and Bad Seed Mick Harvey.

This comes after Harvey spent much of last year living in New York to get inspiration for her new material.

This month she joins US alt-country outfit Sparklehorse in Barcelona to record material for the band’s third studio album, due out early next year.

The tour is over

Well, Radiohead’s summer tour is now over. The band wrapped things up last Sunday night in Israel. A new song was played, titled “Alligators in New York Sewers”. The song, which featured Thom alone on piano, is available to download at www.ateaseweb.com. Check out www.radiohead.com/tt034.html for possible lyrics.

What’s next for the band? After a brief break, the band are rumored to be heading back in to the studio this August to record new material for either b-sides or possibly a new album or a series of EP releases.

On September 1, the band will start their “Tent Tour” in Newport, South Wales, and will finish up on October 8, in Ireland. More dates could be added, so stay tuned to the tour dates page.

It is uncertain what will happen after the tour… The band could head over to North America and tour towards the end of the year. Once anything is known, you’ll be alerted here!
