On release, Let England Shake received 10 out of 10 in the NME, who commented, “…this deathly sombre but sweetly sung anti war record might just be Polly’s most affecting and impressive work so far.”
Let England Shake is PJ Harvey’s eighth studio album and was recently nominated for the 2011 Mercury Music Prize. This is Harvey’s fourth nomination; she was previously nominated for Rid of Me in 1993 and To Bring You My Love in 1995, and in 2001 she won the award with Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea. She accepted the award from her hotel room in Washington, DC on September 11, 2001.
This latest nomination also marks 10 years since Harvey became the first female to win the Mercury prize and Harvey now stands alongside Radiohead as the most nominated artist in the prize’s history. The Awards take place today, Tuesday, September 6, 2011.
