PJ Harvey

In May 2011, PJ Harvey was riding high on the success of her acclaimed album, 'Let England Shake,' which had been released just a few months earlier in February. This album marked a significant evolution in her sound, weaving socio-political themes with a hauntingly rich tapestry of melodies, showcasing her ability to blend personal introspection with broader commentary. The live performance in Lisbon, captured at Aula Magna, featured songs from this very record, underscoring her deft storytelling abilities and unmistakable voice. Interestingly, 'Let England Shake' garnered the Mercury Prize that year, adding to her already impressive accolades. It's a rich time for Harvey, embodying both artistic risk and evolution, making this live recording not just a concert but a pivotal moment in her career.
