Up for grabs is an excellent ORIG. U.K. vinyl copy of PJ HARVEY's collaboration w/ JOHN PARISH (JOHN PARISH & POLLY JEAN HARVEY is how both are credited on this lp) entitled DANCE HALL AT LOUSE POINT (ISLAND RECORDS ILPS 8051, 1996).

A more deconstructed version of the twisted, gothic-blues sound she has explored on her own albums, DANCE HALL finds PJ Harvey concentrating on words, delegating the compositional and instrumental duties to her longtime accomplice, multi-instrumentalist John Parish. Parish's dark, scaly guitar work and raw, angular percussion create the perfect backdrop for Harvey's songpoetry.

Like her hero Nick Cave (Cave's right-hand man Mick Harvey--no relation to PJ--is the only other musician credited on DANCE HALL), Harvey employs a blues sensibility more overheard than inherited as a starting point for very British tales of death and dismay. Such material might easily cross the line into pretension were it not for the solid artistic vision that informs Harvey's writing and empowers her delivery. Each song on DANCE HALL has an air of foreboding and mystery that draws the listener into a world of whispers and secrets that are simultaneously tantalizing and unsettling.
