PJ Harvey's World Instruments
AV CLUB INTERVIEW
AVC: The title track of Let England Shake first surfaced as a TV performance, and a lot of people were shocked to see you onstage with only an autoharp. Is it helpful for you as a songwriter to experiment with an instrument like that, where you have a fixed set of chords to choose from?
PJH: It worked well with the way I was writing this record, because I wrote the words first, but then I held onto the world for a long time until I found the melody. So then all I have to do is fit the chords into music. I’ve already got the melody.
In a 2007 performance of "Down by the Water," PJ Harvey is seen using a Rosen autoharp, which contributes a distinctive, rustic sound to her music.
