Summary

This album is bound up with its music, its abiding atmosphere, and, in particular, its words. If Harvey's past work might seem to draw on direct emotional experience, this is rather different. Its songs center on both her home country and events further afield in which it has embroiled itself. The lyrics return, time and again, to the matter of war, the fate of the people who must do the fighting, and events separated by whole ages, from Afghanistan to Gallipoli
