618. PJ Harvey - dance hall at louse point

I don't know much about John Parish outside of the fact that he has colaborated with several artists (The Eeels, Sparklehorse) and has toured, recorded and written songs with PJ. I'm not sure how the writing duties were split on this album but it definitely feels different than a PJ record... but it is a true collaboration. Polly has sang on many albums before, doing duets and tracks by herself, but they always felt like she was a guest vocalist... this record doesn't. It's part narrative, part song, part instrumental and in all very atmospheric.
