Videos: PJ Harvey: "Silence" / "White Chalk"/ "Down by the Water" / "The Desperate Kingdom of Love" (Live on Spinner) / "The Piano"
PJ Harvey live performances have been turning up all over the internet surrounding the release of the UK singer's piano-laden new album, White Chalk. She did "The Mountain" and "The Piano" for Norwegian radio, plus "Grow Grow Grow" on French TV. Harvey recently sat down AOL's Spinner blog to play two songs from the new album-- "Silence" and "White Chalk"-- as well as To Bring You My Love's "Down by the Water" and, on acoustic guitar, Uh Huh Her's "The Desperate Kingdom of Love". The renditions here are as elegant and self-possessed as the ones we've posted previously. And you might get to sit through a commercial telling you which brand of toothpaste will make your teeth whiter. White like chalk, no doubt.
BONUS: The video for new single "The Piano" has also just been aired on the internet.
