PJ Harvey Plans First North American Tour in Seven Years

PJ Harvey has announced North American tour dates and released a video for 'Seem an I,' off her 'I Inside the Old Year Dying' album.

The clip, which director Colm Bairéad filmed at Kennel Farm outside Salisbury, England (think Stonehenge), also features Blair Witch –type closeups of an armoire with the words “love me tender” scratched into the wood. “Although she’d said earlier in the evening that one of her goals with the album was to avoid singing like herself … her voice, which transitions from alto to soprano ranges with grace on ‘Seem an I,’ couldn’t sound like anyone else’s,” Rolling Stone wrote in a review. “She made her voice sound thin on the opening lyrics, ‘Starling swarms will soon be lorn,’ and deep and Kingly as she channeled Elvis with the ‘Love me tender’ refrain.” She also performed some of those songs as part of NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert around the same time.
