PJ Harvey

During the live recording of 'The Mountain' in October 2007, PJ Harvey was riding the wave of her acclaimed album, 'White Chalk,' which had been released the previous year. This album marked a significant stylistic shift for Harvey, featuring a more intimate and haunting sound compared to her earlier work. Interesting to note, 'White Chalk' was largely inspired by her personal experiences and a sense of loss, reflecting a raw emotional landscape. At this recording, Harvey's intimate performance style truly shines, as she captivates the audience with her haunting melodies and poignant lyrics. It’s also worth mentioning that her versatility in blending genres and experimenting with her sound set her apart during this phase of her career, making moments like this performance memorable fixtures in her artistic journey.
