Audience watches Harvey record new album

FROM within a jungle of musical instruments and audio cables, a voice flows like nectar: British singer PJ Harvey recording her ninth studio album in front of an audience hidden by a one-way mirror.

The slender 45-year-old rocker, wearing headphones and black trouser suit, is surrounded by musicians and her longstanding producer Flood, an industry heavyweight who has worked with Nick Cave, Nine Inch Nails and U2.

“And one, two, three, four,” she counts in the group before attempting yet another version of a track from her new album.

“I was looking for a space to record in London and knew I didn’t want it to be a conventional recording studio,” the singer said.

Assuming the public sessions finish next month as planned, the album will be released in early 2016.
