The post PJ Harvey Gives an Enchanting Tiny Desk Concert: Watch appeared first on Consequence.

PJ Harvey performed a recent Tiny Desk Concert in support of her latest album I Inside the Old Year Dying.

Joined by her usual bandmates John Parish and James Johnston, Harvey performed four songs from the new LP: “I Inside the Old I Dying,” “A Noiseless Noise,” its lead single “A Child’s Question, August,” and its title track. The songs off I Inside the Old Year Dying closely tie in with the singer-songwriter’s epic poem Orlamin which a distressed young girl merges with a forest around her in refuge; with minimal backing performers and hardly any chatter between songs, Harvey’s lyrics were the main focus of her Tiny Desk Concert, bringing the vivid imagery of her poem to life.

Lastly, Harvey performed the title track off her 2007 album White Chalk, almost as if to subtly nod to just some of the characters she’s embodied through her music over the years. Watch her Tiny Desk Concert below.

Harvey celebrated the release of I Inside the Old Year Dying with a UK and EU tour, as well as a special “Poetry, Conversation, Music” event in Brooklyn. She’s hinted at plans for a proper North American tour to come in 2024.
