“[DRY] …still fearless, forever timeless. It’s both vicious blues-punk – a noise that’s bruised and battered, murky and muscular.” – THE GUARDIAN
“… a seductive calling card that signals the arrival of an extraordinary new artist.” – Robert Hilburn, LOS ANGELES TIMES.
“Polly dredges these sounds from the pit of her dissected soul and drags them out of her mouth with clenched fists.” – NME (DRY review,1992)
“On her debut [DRY], Polly Jean Harvey matched Patti Smith’s incandescence with Bessie Smith’s lasciviousness, outplayed everyone on the British indie circuit, and became an instant star.” – PITCHFORK
“[DRY] ….an uncompromising work of exhilarating, cauterizing beauty.” – ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
