PJ Harvey - The Last Living Rose

Here comes the video to PJ Harvey‘s “The Last Living Rose” off the current Let England Shake-LP. The clip also signifies the first part of a 12-part short movie created by Seamus Murphy which is said to visually back up the twelve songs on the album. Here are the details:

Inspired and developed from themes in Harvey’s new album, the films were made in the manner of classic photographic reportage – recording real & spontaneous situations. They make up a visual diary of Murphy’s journey, travelling light and alone, and his attempt to document England and the English.

Murphy has mixed his observations on England with images from his work in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East – places Polly refers to in her depiction of England. The film soundtrack, the studio recording of the album ‘Let England Shake’, is mixed at times with footage and audio Murphy captured of Harvey in rehearsal and in performance. In addition some of the album lyrics were given a voice by people he encountered on his journey.
