White chalk south against time White chalk cutting down the sea at Lyme I walk the valleys by the Cerne On a path cut fifteen hundred years ago. Dorset’s cliffs meet at the sea Where I walked, our unborn child in me White chalk, gorse-scattered land Scratch my palms – there’s blood on my hands. PJ Harvey was born and raised in Dorset, a county in South West England. The area is known for its chalk hills, referenced throughout this song. White Chalk" Track Info.

White Chalk is a quick, quiet piano-based song cycle. Unlike the majority of PJ Harvey’s catalog, there are no pounding rhythms. The drums, provided by the Dirty Three’s Jim White, are most often muted, and Harvey herself abandons any instinct to shriek for the pleasures of seductive coo-ing. Guitars have been packed and none of the garage rock clang from her previous album, Uh Huh Her, has been invited to participate. Harvey begins with The Devil, singing high in her range, words forming in vague combinations, the piano repeating its patterns obsessively. The album’s closer, The Mountain, is the sound of marking time, the piano notes closing down the show as Harvey escapes through a hole in the sky. A low-key but affecting work.

Beautiful, arcane, unsettling-and that's only the cover. White Chalk isn't so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. 80. This yet again reveals PJ Harvey to be one of the UK's greatest contemporary songwriters. As usual, the excellent mix-opaque but sunlit-helps; as usual, we eagerly await her next album.
