Amoeba Review

PJ Harvey's I Inside the Old Year Dying is a work of astounding beauty. Recorded with longtime collaborators John Parish and Flood, it's her first release in seven years, an exploration of in-between places. The intensity of first love, seeking quiet and solace, the ancient past, and the tumult of recent years: these are the lyrical preoccupations of the album, elements which, along with the sometimes sparse and often haunting melodies, give I Inside the Old Year Dying its otherworldly, liminal feel. The album's biblical and Shakespearean references have been spotlighted in much writing about these songs, and while they do imbue the music with a sense of timelessness, and an infinitude of time, these tracks also just feel like a gateway portal into the Old Weird Britain. It's a magical, strange, uneasy feeling, but one filled with enchantment, hope, wonder, and loveliness. One of her best.
