- Release Notes ------------------------------------------------------------- -
Holy shit this record's amazing.. buy it.. the packaging is really deluxe and
cool with a big lyrics book.
"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 its music, its abiding
atmosphere and in particular, its words. If Harvey's past work might seem to
draw of direct emotional experience, this album is rather different. Its
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. "
