| John Parrish and Polly Jean Harvey Dance Hall at Louse Point Polly Jean Harvey's new album--a collaboration with her co-producer/guitarist, John Parish--may have started as a side project, but it proves to be a revelation. With Harvey's voice often accompanied by little more than guitar and drums, "Dance Hall at Louse Point" combines the spare immediacy of "4-Track Demos" with the gutbucket strut of "To Bring You My Love;" just try to listen to her smolder on "Rope Bridge Crossing" without getting a chill up your spine. --Matt Diehl |
