PJ Harvey will follow-up her 2006 release 'Uh Huh Her' with 'White Chalk' in September.
The new album will feature Jim White from Melbourne, Australia band The Dirty Three.PJ wrote the material for 'White Chalk' for the first time on piano. Her previous works were created on guitar.
"If I had any musical direction, it was more of a 'non-direction' - my only goal being not to repeat myself and hopefully not to sound like anything else. I was trying not to use techniques which I have used before, to make a song work. There seems little point to me these days, in making something, unless it is 'new'. There is too much music in the world to just add more of the same, or more of what has already been done better. I wanted to make a new sound that I hadn't heard before. A new kind of music."
The full album tracklisting is as follows:
1. The Devil
2. Dear Darkness
3. Grow Grow Grow
4. When Under Ether
5. White Chalk
6. Broken Harp
7. Silence
8. To Talk To You
