PJ Harvey will release new song ‘Guilty’ globally on digital platforms this Wednesday 13 July, taken from The Hope Six Demolition Project sessions. The song was recorded in January 2015 during her month long residency at Somerset House, “Recording in Progress”, in which audiences were given the opportunity to see Harvey at work with her band and producers in a purpose-built studio.

PJ Harvey will play 17 headline dates across the UK and Europe later this year. Directed by renowned British theatre director Ian Rickson; dressed by Ann Demeulemeester; with lighting by Adam Silverman; sound by Howard ‘Head’ Bullivant and set design by multi-media artist Jeremy Herbert, the show is receiving exceptional reviews around the world. “Harvey’s spectacular festival show has had everyone talking,” writes Shortlist. From the moment the 10 strong band march onto the stage playing their instruments, the audience is transported into a truly unique concert experience; powerful, enchanting, thought provoking, joyous, and beautifully crafted, filled with songs that are a reflection of our times. Harvey is joined by long-time collaborators John Parish, Mick Harvey, and Jean-Marc Butty, and friends Alain Johannes, Terry Edwards, James Johnston, Kenrick Rowe, Alessandro Stefana and Enrico Gabrielli.
