Release Date:02/22/2011;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 album from the critically adored British singer/songwriter. Let England Shake was recorded in a 19th Century church in Dorset, on a cliff-top overlooking the sea. It was created with a cast of musicians including such long-standing allies as Flood, John Parish, and Mick Harvey. What is remarkable about Let England Shake is bound up with it's music, it's abiding atmosphere and in particular, it's words. If Harvey's past work might seem to draw of direct emotional experience, this album is rather different. It's songs centre on both her home country, and events further afield in which it has embroiled itself. The lyrics return, time and again, to the matter of war, the fate of the people who must do the fighting, and events separated by whole ages, from Afghanistan to Gallipoli. The album they make up is not a work of protest, nor of strait-laced social or political comment. It brims with the mystery and magnetism in which she excels. But her lyric-writing in particular has arrived at a new, breathtaking place, in which the human aspects of history are pushed to the foreground. Put simply, not many people make records like this.;Track List:1. Let England Shake;2. The Last Living Rose;3. The Glorious Land;4. The Words That Maketh Murder;5. All and Everyone;6.
