PJ Harvey

In September 2001, PJ Harvey performed a powerful set at Brixton Academy in London, a memorable stop during her 'Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea' tour. This album, released in the same year, marked a high point in her career, showcasing a more polished sound while still retaining her raw emotional intensity. Harvey's music shifted slightly towards a blend of rock and alternative with lyrical themes reflecting urban life. The live performance featured 'This Mess We’re In,' a haunting duet with Thom Yorke of Radiohead, highlighting her ability to weave profound narratives into her music. Interestingly, this period marked a time when Harvey was gaining more mainstream recognition, earning her the Mercury Prize for the album, solidifying her place as a formidable force in the music industry.
