All About Eve

Record Details

Release
2019

Harvey began her collaboration with theatre director Ivo van Hove in late 2018 for a modern stage adaptation of the classic 1950 Academy Award-winning film, All About Eve. The play, starring Gillian Anderson (X-Files, The Fall, American Gods, Sex Education) and Lily James (Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, Baby Driver) will run until May 11 2019 at London’s Noël Coward Theatre in the West End.

This album contains 10 original pieces of instrumental music as well as two new songs written by Harvey and sung by Gillian Anderson and Lily James. Harvey’s score for All About Eve, is performed by herself, James Johnston and Kenrick Rowe, and uses Franz Liszt’s ‘Liebesträume’ (a musical element of Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s original 1950s classic film) as a musical touchstone, exploring the more somber and deeply psychological aspects of the story. The album is produced by PJ Harvey, with additional production and mixing from Adam ‘Cecil’ Bartlett.

Released April 12 2019 via Invada Records and Lakeshore Records.

    The Moth

    Oh ghost moth, hear me, hear me
    Oh pale moth, shield me, shield me
    I hear you beating, beating
    I feel you in me, in me

    Beyond yourself
    into the lights
    Palest wings
    burning bright

    Oh ghost moth, hear me, hear me
    Oh pale moth, shield me, shield me
    I hear you beating, beating
    I feel you leaving, leaving

    Lose yourself
    into the lights
    Palest wings

    Nothing else but waves of love
    I can’t wait for night to come
    Nothing else but waves of love
