PJ Harvey

To Bring You My Love


British European back in stock following the tour for 'rid of me' polly harvey parted ways with robert ellis and stephen vaughn leaving her free to expand her music from the bluesy punk that dominated pj harvey's first two albums it also left her free to experiment with her style of songwriting where 'dry' and 'rid of me' seemed brutally honest 'to bring you my love' feels theatrical with each song representing a grand gesture relying heavily on religious metaphors and imagery borrowed from the blues harvey has written a set of songs that are lyrically reminiscent of nick cave's and tom waits' literary excursions into the gothic american heartland since she was a product of postpunk she's nowhere near as literally bluesy as cave or waits preferring to embellish her songs with shards of avant guitar eerie keyboards and a dense detailed production it's a far cry from the primitive guitars of her first two albums but harvey pulls it off with style since her songwriting is tighter and more melodic than before the menacing 'down by the water' has genuine hooks as does the psycho stomp of 'meet ze monsta' the wailing 'long snake moan' and the stately 'c'mon billy' the clear production by harvey flood and john parish makes these growths evident which in turn makes 'to bring you my love' her most accessible album even if the album lacks the indelible force of its predecessors
