PJ Harvey announces new album, ‘I Inside the Old Year Dying’

PJ Harvey has announced a new album called I Inside the Old Year Dying.

The milestone 10th studio effort from the “Down by the Water” artist — and her first since 2016’s The Hope Six Demolition Project — arrives July 7.

“I think the album is about searching, looking — the intensity of first love, and seeking meaning,” Harvey says. “Not that there has to be a message, but the feeling I get from the record is one of love — it’s tinged with sadness and loss, but it’s loving. I think that’s what makes it feel so welcoming: so open.”

You can listen to the record’s first single, “A Child’s Question, August,” now via digital outlets.

“Prayer at the Gate”

“I Inside the Old Year Dying”
