 Polly Jean Harvey & John Parish   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Her new album, Dance Hall at Louse Point (Island), a collaboration with guitarist and songwriter John Parish, is neither as polished nor as affecting as her earlier albums, and yet it demands that you sit up and take notice.
Dance Hall proves that Harvey, even when she's not trying all that hard, still has the strength, the agility, and the command of a cobra.
Dance Hall at Louse Point may be a side project for Harvey, but it's hardly negligible.

 New Releases - New York Times
On ''Dance Hall,'' attributed to Harvey and John Parish (the guitarist in her band), she keens and beseeches, speaks and croons through 12 songs with music by Parish.
''Dance Hall'' is a frustrating and scattered album, with brilliant moments followed by irritating patches.
One of the album's high points is ''Is That All There Is?'' (which can also be heard playing in an art gallery in the film ''Basquiat'') in which Harvey takes all the innocence Peggy Lee poured into her version of the Leiber and Stoller song and turns it into the chilling monologue of a sociopath.

By all rights, Dance Hall At Louse Point shouldn’t be much of anything, a one-off collaboration between Harvey and the guitarist from her pre-fame band Automatic Dlamini, who wrote all the music here.
But Harvey is probably the fastest-growing artist in rock, and Louse Point seems to have hit just the right point on her growth curve.
I suppose the clue to this lay in last year's Dance Hall at Louse Point shows, where items such as their interpretation of Eno's Here Come The Warm Jets demonstrated the instrumental power at the core of this particular outfit.

Often mistakenly credited as an appearance on Parish's record (an artist who had never released a major-label solo record during his long career as a sideman, writer, and producer), Harvey's contribution to Dance Hall at Louse Point is at least equal to Parish's.
Not only did the singer co-produce the record, she wrote all the record's lyrics and her vocal performances figure very prominently on Dance Hall at Louse Point, which was released in America on the singer's label home, Island.
Dance Hall at Louse Point is in no way a strict duplication of Parish and Harvey's prior work together on To Bring You My Love.

 PJ Harvey and John Parish team up for Dance Hall
Dance Hall at Louse Point is an amalgam of Harvey's sounds--part chanteuse, part hard rocker--and if it's not another definitive statement from a pretty important force in music, it's certainly a beguiling departure for her and Parish.
What's made her so exciting is that she's been able to negotiate the edge-of-the-cliff histrionics while still making enrapturing music; Dance Hall at Louse Point mostly maintains that balancing act, but the album's weakest moments demonstrate how Harvey can go wrong artistically.
Dance Hall at Louse Point is a curious little record.

Polly Jean Harvey and John Parish collaborate on 'Dance Hall at Louse Point'
"Dance Hall at Louse Point," a collaborative album by John Parish and Polly Jean Harvey, contains numerous mood swings, haunting vocals, and eerie sounds that would be perfect for a Coen brothers movie.
Of the 12 songs on the album, all are originals, except for a cover of the Peggy Lee standard, "Is That All There Is?" Harvey once again nails the vocals, demonstrating her range and ability to handle the demands of each tune, as she tenderly sings the low-key and very slow song.

 Rolling Stone : Dance Hall At Louse Point : Review   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Now we're supposed to think of Dance Hall at Louse Point as a collaborative project with multi-instrumentalist John Parish, a longtime scene-maker in Harvey's hometown of Yeovil, England, in whose band, Automatic Dlamini, Harvey once played in her pre-PJ days.
Harvey still has a bad case of the blues, but where on Dry she was "Sheela-Na-Gig," showing off her insides, she's now frustratingly enigmatic, whispering her confessions like a guilty Catholic, disguising them with biblical allusions and sub-Nick Cave Gothic imagery ("City of No Sun," "Urn With Dead Flowers in a Drained Pool").
Appropriately, Dance Hall will be the basis of a dance piece touring Britain next year, with Parish and Harvey fronting a five-piece ensemble.

 PJ Harvey: Dance Hall at Louse Point (with John Parish): Pitchfork Record Review
Dance Hall at Louse Point (with John Parish)
Louse Point explores an even weirder side of Harvey than her previous efforts: the storyteller.
With the creepiness of songs like "Urn with Dead Flowers in a Drained Pool" and a cover of the Leiber-Stoller oddity, "Is That All There Is," Harvey and guitarist John Parish enter a land of Lynchian eerieness that at times is downright spookifying.

But they'll have trouble getting a read on this side project by singer Polly Jean Harvey and producer/songwriter John Parish.
For starters, you might wonder why Parish gets top billing over the reason people will buy Dance Hall at Louse Point.
