PJ Harvey

In 2017, PJ Harvey was on the heels of her acclaimed album "The Hope Six Demolition Project," which dropped the previous year. This album marked a significant return for her, showcasing her sharp, socially conscious lyrics paired with experimental sounds. The live performance of "The Orange Monkey" at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver encapsulates this artistic journey. With its gripping commentary on human experiences and memories, the song resonates deeply with audiences. Interestingly, this performance was part of a larger tour that emphasized direct engagement with listeners, something Harvey has always valued. Plus, it’s worth noting that her artistic evolution often intertwines with her live shows, where her expressions become a personal dialogue, making each performance feel electric and intimate. This Denver show is a perfect showcase of her mature sound during a pivotal era of her career.
