Our Take

PJ Harvey's "Is This Desire" is a bewitching blend of darkness and beauty that captivates from start to finish. Harvey's haunting vocals soar over atmospheric instrumentation, creating a mesmerizing listening experience that is equal parts eerie and exhilarating.

The album kicks off with the brooding track "Angelene," setting the tone for what's to come with its sparse, unsettling soundscapes. Tracks like "The Sky Lit Up" and "The Wind" showcase Harvey's ability to create tension and release, with intricate layers of sound building to cathartic climaxes.

Harvey's lyrics are poetic and evocative, painting vivid pictures of love, loss, and longing. On "A Perfect Day Elise," she croons about heartbreak and redemption with a raw vulnerability that is both powerful and poignant.

"Is This Desire" is a masterclass in mood and atmosphere, with each track flowing seamlessly into the next to create a cohesive and immersive listening experience. Harvey's artistry shines through in every note, making this album a must-listen for fans of alternative rock and experimental music.

Overall, "Is This Desire" is a dark and twisted masterpiece that solidifies PJ Harvey's status as one of the most visionary artists of her generation. An album that demands to be listened to again and again, it's a must-have for any music lover looking to delve into the depths of the human experience through sound.
