PJ Harvey
White Chalk
Island/Universal
White Chalk is a dark, sparse record that brings a whole new sound to Harvey’s catalogue. Without any distortion and featuring PJ’s vocals in a higher register, the disc is truly beautiful and haunting. White Chalk is the mature acoustic answer to her breakthrough alt-classic Rid of Me.
