Rid Of Me
PJ Harvey
The sessions focused on creating a visceral experience that mimics a live band performing in close proximity to the listener. Silence between individual notes carries as much weight as the harsh, distorted guitar work present throughout the tracks.
This release represents a significant moment in nineties alternative rock by emphasizing jagged dynamics. By removing unnecessary studio polish, the music exposes a confrontational and personal perspective that thrives on high levels of tension.
