PJ Harvey has announced an extensive autumn tour composed of two night-stands in major cities across the UK and Europe.
The singer has also shared a new single, I Inside The Old I Dying, the title track of her upcoming 10th album, the follow-up to 2016's The Hope Six Demolition Project, which is scheduled to emerge on July 7 via Partisan.
Harvey describes the song as a "delicate and beautiful song eluded us until the very last day in the studio."
"Over the previous five weeks we had tried so many times to capture it and failed," she explains, "and/but then [longtime collaborator] John [Parish] reinvented the feel of the guitar pattern. As he was demonstrating it in the control room, Flood [producer] handed me a microphone and pressed record whilst I sat next to John trying to work out how to sing to it. The result somehow captures the ethereal and melancholic longing I was looking for.”
