In 2007 PJ Harvey released White Chalk, an intimate and introverted record. She challenged herself to write and record songs from quite a different angle than what she was used to. It's a beautiful short album, probably one of her best. It got a bit overlooked at the time, maybe because it didn't rock as bluntly as her previous work.
For this album she didn't do a big world tour, because she felt that she couldn't translate the intimacy of the record on stage everyday. Instead she performed by herself in just a couple of theatres. But she did do a lot of radio sessions and tv performances to promote the new work.
Here is a compilation I made of the best tracks from these sessions and below stunning versions of 'Grow Grow Grow' on a French tv show and 'The Mountain' in an early stage.
