PJ Harvey
January 18-19, State Theatre
'With vocals sometimes tremulous and trebly, at other times dropped down, and a sonic palette ranging from guttural to high reaching, everything Brit alt-rock queen Polly Harvey did served the specific world she created on stage: a distant time that seemed too fresh and pungent to be consigned to the past. Few artists would imagine or attempt a show like this. Is there anyone who could do it as powerfully and completely as PJ Harvey?'
