At first listening of "bitter branches" I thought this is some new indie band or something. Cause that upbeat base line is so loved by them. But then, voila, PJ sings, and she makes that song her own, and i won't be able to confuse it with anything else. I loved the chorus part, where she's doing two-voice thingy (how do you call it?) It is beautiful harmony. As in "scents of our homelands acting like lovers". I hope I express myself understandably...
Glorious land is weirder. The trumpet is even annoying! And children choir? That's really DIFFERENT from everything she's ever done!
And I like the feeling, that I'll have to listen to it more than usual, just because I don't like it straight away
I think this is something PJ Harvey fan's have in common...
