5.The daughter of a stonemason and a sculptor, Harvey grew up on a small sheep farm.Rolling Stone in 1995, would later influence her: "I was brought up listening to John Lee Hooker, to Howlin' Wolf, to Robert Johnson, and a lot of Jimi Hendrix and Captain Beefheart.So I was exposed to all these very compassionate musicians at a very young age, and that's always remained in me and seems to surface more as I get older.Design in London, still undecided as to her future career.Early years
Harvey released her debut single "Dress" on the independent label Too Pure in October 1991.The following spring she released an equally acclaimed second single, "Sheela Na Gig", and her first LP Dry in 1992.Harvey quickly avoided being adopted as a feminist spokesperson, telling Vox that "I wouldn't call myself a feminist because I don't understand the term or the baggage it takes along with it.I'd feel like I really have to go back and study its history to associate myself with it, and I don't feel the need to do that.Maybe I'm not thankful for the things that have gone before me, you know.Rid of Me alongside six previously unreleased tracks.To Bring You My Love (1995) was produced by Flood and John Parish, and quickly became a staple of alternative rock.The album received a glowing critical response and ended up being voted Album of the Year by The Village Voice, Rolling Stone, USA Today, People, The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.Her album was ranked third in Spin's Top 90 Albums of the '90s, behind Nirvana and Public Enemy.She denied the influence of drag, Kabuki or performance art on her new image, a look she affectionately dubbed "Joan Crawford on acid" in a 1996 Spin interview, but admitted that "it's that combination of being quite elegant and funny and revolting, all at the same time, that appeals to me.To Bring You My Love tour.Mick Harvey (no relation) for her 2000 album Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea.Written in Dorset, Paris and New York, the album was a critical and commercial success, selling over one million copies worldwide and taking the Mercury Music Prize in the following year.She told Rolling Stone "when I'm working on a new record, the most important thing is to not repeat myself ...Because I'm in this for learning."In a recent issue, Hot Press magazine praised her for crafting "some of the most erotic, powerful and positive love songs ever written".It was released in Europe on 24 September 2007, and in the United States on 2 October.Collaborations
Besides her own work, she contributed to eight tracks on Vol.Tricky's Angels with Dirty Faces (on the song "Broken Homes").She lent guitar, bass and background vocals to Sparklehorse's album It's a Wonderful Life (on the songs "Eyepennies" and "Piano Fire").In 1996 she recorded a collaborative album entitled Dance Hall at Louse Point with Parish under the name Polly Jean Harvey.Harvey has since gone on to produce Tiffany Anders' Funny Cry Happy Gift.Harvey produced, performed on and wrote five songs for Marianne Faithfull's 2004 album Before the Poison.Dance Hall is tentatively scheduled for 2008 according to www.Offstage, Harvey has cultivated a reputation for eccentricity to match her music; for example, Steve Albini claimed she ate nothing but potatoes while making Rid Of Me.Harvey describes herself as "an extremely quiet person, who doesn't go out much, doesn't talk to people", and rejects the notion that her songs are autobiographical.Problems playing the files?Retrieved 13 March 2006.Christina Martinez "Polly's Phonic Spree", Bust magazine Fall 2004."PJ Harvey Interview" Spin magazine.PJ Harvey Talks Tour.Retrieved 13 March 2006."PJ Harvey Plays With 'Chalk' in Our Studio", spinner.PJ Harvey Siren Rising.Rock Chicks: The Hottest Female Rockers from the 1960's to Now.PJ Harvey Community
