PJ Harvey shares update on new album to be released 2023: \u201cI\u2019m very pleased with it\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a new interview with Rolling Stone to discuss her new narrative poem novel Orlam, Harvey revealed that her upcoming album \u201ctook a long time to write to get right, but at least I feel very happy with it\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While it is currently unclear if the record has been finished, she shared with Rolling Stone that she is \u201cvery pleased with it\u201d and that it is scheduled to release sometime in the summer next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Talks of Harvey working on a new musical project first began in early February when the musician shared images of herself recording in a studio. The three images showed Harvey playing a guitar, fiddling with some guitar pedals, and sitting in front of a mic stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Elsewhere in the interview, Harvey said she has recently been inspired by film soundtracks composed by the likes of Jonny Greenwood, Hildur Gu\u00f0nad\u00f3ttir and Ryuichi Sakamoto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When she\u2019s not listening to film scores, Harvey has been exploring \u201cThom Yorke\u2019s solo projects, but also his work with The Smile\u201c. Other musicians she draws inspiration from now include Mica Levi of Micachu & The Shapes, Anna von Hausswolff and Bob Dylan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBob Dylan, I mean \u2018Murder Most Foul\u2019 was absolutely astonishing,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I find no greater pleasure than when I see an artist who I\u2019ve admired all my life, doing their best work as their most recent work. I think, \u201cOh, wow.\u201d That just fills me with such pleasure. And I felt that with Bob Dylan\u2019s entire \u2018Rough and Rowdy Ways\u2019 album.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
