Previously the artist mentioned her intention is to release a new album this summer. Harvey‘s last full-length album, The Hope Six Demolition Project, was released in 2016.
During an interview with Rolling Stone last year Harvey talked about how she was inspired by “soundtrack writers” like Jonny Greenwood, Mica Levi, Hildur Guðnadóttir, and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Thom Yorke’s work with The Smile, Anna von Hausswolff’s All Thoughts Fly and Bob Dylan’s 2020 effort Rough and Rowdy Ways.
Also the artist did mention that she has reissued her previous albums and associated demos on vinyl which compelled her to “go back to demo’ing on my four-track again.”
