PJ Harvey Already Working on New Solo Album

PJ Harvey's new album with longtime collaborator John Parish, titled 'A Woman a Man Walked By,' doesn't hit proverbial shelves until March 31, but Harvey has already begun working on the follow-up to her 2007 solo album, 'White Chalk.'

"I've demoed my own next record," she tells Spinner. "I'll hopefully be recording that in the spring of next year."

While Harvey was mum on specifics, she did say that she plans to ask frequent collaborators Flood and Mick Harvey, along with Parish, to produce. Harvey also promises that the new material pushes her once again into unexplored territory.

"All I can say is that I am pleased with it, because I feel it's a grand departure from anything before," she says. "If I've done that, then for me, it's worked. I'm already feeling like I did, and I'm happy. I'm very pleased because I'm not repeating myself."
