Pj Harvey has confirmed her first new album in seven years. Entitled I Inside the Old Year Dying, it’s due out on July 7th via Partisan Records. As a preview, Harvey has unveiled “A Child’s Question, August” as the lead single. Watch the song’s accompanying video below.
The songs featured on I Inside the Old Year Dying came together in “about three weeks.” Harvey then recorded the album live at London’s Battery Studio with longtime collaborator John Parish and producer Flood.
“I think the album is about searching, looking – the intensity of first love, and seeking meaning,” Harvey said. “Not that there has to be a message, but the feeling I get from the record is one of love – it’s tinged with sadness and loss, but it’s loving. I think that’s what makes it feel so welcoming: so open.”

Pj Harvey has announced the release of a new song called “A Child’s Question, August.” It’s set for release on Wednesday, April 26th. Below, you can watch a preview of the song’s accompanying music video directed by Steve Gullick.
Harvey previously revealed her intention to release a new album this summer. Her last full-length, The Hope Six Demolition Project, came out in 2016.
Speaking to Rolling Stone last year, Harbey said she was inspired by “soundtrack writers” like Jonny Greenwood, Mica Levi, Hildur Guðnadóttir, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, as well as Thom Yorke’s work with The Smile, Anna von Hausswolff’s All Thoughts Fly, and Bob Dylan’s 2020 effort Rough and Rowdy Ways.
She also said that her multi-year archival campaign — in which she reissued her previous albums and associated demos on vinyl — compelled her to “go back to demo’ing on my four-track again.”

If you haven’t seen Luchino Visconti’s Death in Venice, you probably know the director’s muse, Björn Andrésen. Even if you’re not familiar with Andrésen, he was the inspiration for the bishōnen archetype in manga: beautiful young men of androgynous beauty. Kristina Lindström and Kristian Petri’s new documentary The Most Beautiful Boy in the World unravels the objectification experienced as a 15-year-old boy and how it compounded with family trauma to torment the actor’s life. The directors worked with Andrésen for five years and as he welcomes them into his life, their subject unpacks feelings and stories he’s never expressed, and embarks on a healing journey that involves discovering the cause of his mother’s death and embracing a faith that saves his life.
