The same sad information: "Assuming the public sessions finish as planned in mid-February, the album will be released in early 2016." Only one question: Why?! And why not the late 2017? With all due respect, it's not a $220 million Hollywood blockbuster, which takes a year of post-production. http://gulfnews.com/arts-entertainment/music/pj-harvey-puts-studio-in-london-gallery-to-record-album-1.1446203 "During one song, "Ministry of Social Affairs", Harvey stops to ask a musician to change a part played on an electric piano. "I like it when you play..." she begins, before singing a series of notes. "But I don’t like the other two beats." The musician makes a change and the work continues." _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jan/25/pj-harvey-recording-in-progress-somerset-house-review "The song they were working on was "The Ministry of Social Affairs". We heard quiet snatches of Harvey's vocal and guitar part replayed from time to time, frustratingly elusive, as well as an actual blues recording that seemed to be a guide track. The repeated sax riff ended suddenly. All eyes looked at Harvey, who frowned and uttered the single word “So…”, beginning a sentence that we never got to hear. Silence fell. Our allotted time was up." |

From Jan 17: "The atmosphere seems focused but bright. There’s a laugh when one of the musicians is told his first harmonica part was a bit ‘wobbly’ and they discuss ‘a guitar part, that was a violin part, that was a flute part’. Polly for her part seems quite smiley and enjoying the journey that the track is on. It’s so interesting hearing the various instrument parts in isolation. Will they end up on the record? The multitude of layers that are weaved together to make just one song are being ‘exhibited’ for all to see. This is very brave because the people on the outside looking in are already making judgements on things that aren’t finished. The opinions that we will carry away from this experience are specific to a moment in time and a stage of the process. Are those opinions relevant to the album as a whole? Probably not." http://ratatap.com/pj-harvey-recording-progress/ |

"On the other side of the one-way glass, Harvey was nodding back and forth as she listened back to a track that they must've been working on earlier that morning, her ankle boots slowly stomping to the rhythm. The studio space was a sprawling array of red and black cables scattered around the floor, with clarinets, saxophones, and trumpets gleaming in every direction. One of Harvey's distinctive rose-painted harpsichords from the 'White Chalk' era sat on a shelf behind her." "Alessandro Stefana (playing the clarinet) and Terry Edwards (sax) were working on their synchronisation together as Harvey and one of her producers, John Parish, gave suggestions. Her ninth studio album could be a very jazzy affair. They took five different takes within the hour, changing the pitch and key. As they spoke about trying to sandwich one of the verses and chorus together, I was enamoured by Harvey's really sweet, encouraging nature. Just as they seemed to have wrapped up the track, Harvey called out: "Time for lunch now, isn't it?" That was our cue." http://www.dummymag.com/features/pj-harvey-recording-in-progress-live-somerset-house-review |

thecamel: "I attended this on Friday and it was brilliant. They were going through a new song called 'Line in the Sand'. Seemed to be about refugees , maybe in Syria? The interaction between PJ Harvey and the band and producer was fascinating. It was one female in a room with 10x guys. Flood made a few suggestions but Polly was having none if it - she thought about it and then said something along the lines of 'I'll do it my way'. Go Polly!!! Another new track was called 'Age of the Dollar' . A foreign policy album? Anyway the whole event/gig/show/experience was great." |

From last week: "The same line up was working on a different song with a blues sample integrated within it. PJ Harvey was recording her rhythm guitar as we entered, followed by layers of vocals after that. It’s hard to explain, but particularly seeing her play guitar gave me so much inspiration and a kind of comfort. John Parish was recording a melodica part, and they decided to simplify a line he played as it was ‘too musical’. ‘Heaven forbid’, they joked. There were a few occasions where laughter fluttered around the viewing room – their banter was gentle and funny – and at times, PJ allowed her vocal takes to become comically over-the-top. Partly because the song demanded it, and partly because it seemed she was really enjoying it." http://hannahrobinsonmusic.co.uk/blog-recording-in-progress/#more-734 |

"A twinkly demo of a track called The Age of the Dollar was played; the group discussed its merits before picking a new direction to try. Flood sat perched on a settee and Polly thumbed a G note on the piano while a drum was tuned. Suddenly, as Flood played around on the floor looping the drums, Polly moved from piano to electric guitar, started singing and the band sprang into action. They tried two different tempos, interrupting each other, treading over each other’s notes but surprisingly quickly sketching out the song. From discussion to simple percussion, to a spark of inspiration and Polly in full flow - 10 minutes earlier it had been in their heads and now it was in our ears. It was incredible to witness, and felt simultaneously intimate and intrusive. Most of all, it felt starkly new, and made me question my preconceptions about how anything great is made. As for signs of the eventual sound of the record, everything from reggae to rock went into the all-too-short time we witnessed." http://www.virgin.com/music/pj-harvey-recording-in-progress |

@katehutchinson: "we did watch 45 mins of drumming at #PJHarvey #SomersetHouse. But it was THRILLING DRUMMING." @slocrock: "Apols to @katehutchinson for accidentally summoning the triple-drums session at PJ Harvey event. Brilliantly enthralling experience, though." |
