Dry

PJ Harvey

A jagged, bone-dry debut of punk-blues. Minimalist arrangements and visceral vocals create an atmosphere of intense, unvarnished intimacy.

February 11, 1992 · Moon Records (2)

Find on Amazon

A parched, confrontational exploration of desire and discomfort delivered with skeletal precision.

Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic, scratching guitar rhythm that opens Dress, mimicking the physical discomfort of the lyrics.
The sudden, soaring vocal leap in Sheela-Na-Gig that feels like a primal scream of defiance.
The haunting, skeletal cello arrangement on Plants and Rags that provides a jarring moment of stillness.
The way the drums on Water sound like they are being played in the room right next to you.
