Polly J: New Album On the Way
sean by Sean Adams January 28th, 2003
Queen of the troubled teens and upwards, returns...

A while back we heard rumbles that there was a new PJ Harvey album on the way and she's just confirmed it a bit more. Well, that it's close to completition. And that she tends to debut some of the tracks at Glastonbury this year - if it goes ahead.

Polly told BBC Radio 1: "With every album I tend to react against the previous one in an effort to find new ground, with this record, it's pretty ugly really. Quite an ugly sounding batch of songs. Quite disturbing, quite dark, quite bluesy. At the moment it's feeling good. I just go by how my guts feel."

DiScuss: What's your favourite PJ album and why? Anyone know how the new stuff has gone down at the Big Day Out? Will glasto go ahead?
