Personnel: PJ Harvey (vocals, acoustic guitar, zither, fiddle, harmonica, piano, keyboards, bass guitar); PJ Harvey; John Parish (vocals, acoustic guitar, banjo, bass guitar, drums, glass, percussion); Nico Brown (vocals, concertina); Eric Drew Feldman (vocals, piano, Mellotron, keyboards, mini-Moog synthesizer); Martin Brunsden, Briget Pearse, Nick Bicat, Andrew Dickson (vocals); Jim White (drums, percussion). Audio Mixers: Flood ; PJ Harvey; John Parish. Photographer: Maria Mochnacz. WHITE CHALK is as surprising a musical change of direction for Polly Jean Harvey as the bluesy, torchy TO BRING YOU MY LOVE was back in 1995 after the corrosive guitar fury of the Welsh singer-songwriter's first two albums. Indeed, WHITE CHALK may be PJ Harvey's most unexpected work yet, as well as her most artistically accomplished. Putting down her signature guitar in favor of piano (an instrument she has never played on record before), Harvey has crafted a gloriously strange song cycle that owes much to the art rock likes of Kate Bush or Genesis-era Peter Gabriel. These 11 songs tell a fractured, loosely connected story that blends allegorical fantasy with some of the most intensely personal vocal performances of Harvey's career. Highlights include the phantasmagorical "When Under Ether" and the near apocalyptically intense closer "The Mountain," although WHITE CHALK is one of those albums that is best experienced as a whole.

商品の紹介

Rolling Stone (p.76) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[The songs] have a cold pastoral kind of chill, as Harvey howls about being possessed by demon lovers and ghosts in 'The Devil' and 'The Piano.'" Spin (pp.95-96) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Now, romantic desire's dark and twisted side is Harvey's main creative turf....Her vocals are downright pretty, sounding more like those of a traditional English singer than the raging punk Medusa of old." Q (p.98) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Shunning the guitar in favour of gauzy piano and smudged vocals, Harvey sounds like she's channelling through a Victorian medium..." Uncut (p.84) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "An album of lonely beauty and piercing sorrow, WHITE CHALK is PJ Harvey back at the peak of her considerable powers." The Wire (p.60) - "Harvey's new strategy has been successful....It's certainly her most haunting work." The Wire (p.35) - Included in The Wire's "50 Records of the Year 2007". Q (Magazine) (p.80) - Ranked #24 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums Of 2007" -- "Harvey produced an album of such unsettling intimacy that it dares you to play it alone in the dark."

2004年作『Uh Huh Her』以来およそ3年ぶり8枚目となるPJハーヴェイの新作は、妖しくも美しい旋律と深い森に立ちこめる霧のような音の粒子に包まれた、まるで古い絵画の如き深みのある一枚だ。ギター中心のバンド・サウンドはひとまずお休みのようで、ピアノやハープを主体とした静かでおぼろげなナンバーがここにはひしめいている。通常よりも高めのキー設定やファルセットを駆使した清らかなヴォーカル・パート(ちょっぴり賛美歌的)と、彼女のトレードマークでもある物憂げで生々しい&刺々しい低体温な歌唱のコントラストは鳥肌もの。プロデューサーのジョン・パリッシュ&フラッドをはじめ、ダーティ・スリーのジム・ホワイトなどお馴染みのメンバーによるサポートも素晴らしいです。
