LP, Reissue, 180g
Island Records (2021) WW
In an attempt to "get back to the earthy, rootsy, more dirty side of things," following the more polished production of 2000's love letter to NYC, Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea, PJ Harvey created 2004's Uh Huh Her which does just that and marks a return to the raw, stripped-down sound she forged on her first two albums Dry (1992) and Rid Of Me (1993). Producing and playing everything on the LP herself (save drums and percussion which were provided by longtime collaborator Rob Ellis), Uh Huh Her is a vital 13-song set of scouring, urgent rock tunes that earned Harvey Grammy Award and Brit Award nominations once again. Features the singles "The Letter," "You Came Through" and "Shame." This 2021 vinyl LP reissue is faithful to the original recording and package, with cutting by Jason Mitchell at Loud Mastering under the guidance of longtime PJ Harvey producer Head.
