Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea is the fifth studio album by the English singer-songwriter PJ Harvey, released on 23 October 2000 by Island Records. [2] Recorded during March to April 2000, it contains themes of love that are tied into Harvey's affection for New York City. [3]

Contents

The album became the second major commercial success of her recording career, following her successful breakthrough To Bring You My Love (1995). Upon its release, the album received acclaim from most music critics and earned Harvey several accolades, including the 2001 Mercury Prize. It spent 17 weeks on the UK Albums Chart, and has been certified Platinum in the United Kingdom and Australia. [4] [5] It is generally regarded as one of her best works. [6] [7] [8]

Background and music

In 1998, while shooting a film as an actress for Hal Hartley in New York, she felt inspired by the city and wrote several songs. Some of them ended up on the record. [9] In 1999, she chose to live there for nine months. [10] However, she insisted in interviews it was not "my New York album". Songs were also written while she was in London or at home in Dorset. [10] Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea was then recorded at Linford Manor in Milton Keynes in March – April 2000. The record was co-produced by Mick Harvey, Rob Ellis and Harvey, and mixed by Victor Van Vugt at the Fallout Shelter. The album featured a duet with Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke on the track "This Mess We're In", as well as backing vocals and keyboards from Yorke on the songs "One Line" and "Beautiful Feeling". She had met Yorke in 1992 and they had stayed in contact. She said: "I'd long been interested in the idea of somebody else singing a whole song on a record of mine, to have a very different dimension brought in by somebody else's voice. It adds so much dynamic within the record to have this other character coming in". [9]

She wanted the record to be more direct: "It's very different musically to the first couple of albums. It's very melodic, and it's much rounder and fuller. The earlier albums were very black and white in some sense, very extreme. Melodically, this is much more sophisticated than those records. It kind of feels like a combination of every album I've made so far rolled into one." [9] The songs were also a musical departure from her previous dark material. Harvey told Q in 2001, "I wanted everything to sound as beautiful as possible. Having experimented with some dreadful sounds on Is This Desire? and To Bring You My Love —where I was really looking for dark, unsettling, nauseous-making sounds—Stories from the City... was the reaction. I thought, No, I want absolute beauty. I want this album to sing and fly and be full of reverb and lush layers of melody. I want it to be my beautiful, sumptuous, lovely piece of work." She did, however, concede jokingly that it was only "pop according to PJ Harvey, which is probably as un-pop as you can get according to most people's standards." [11]

Pitchfork compared her voice on the lead single "Good Fortune" to that of the Pretenders's Chrissie Hynde, [12] while the Los Angeles Times observed: "Her singing often recalls Patti Smith and Siouxsie Sioux, artists who, like Harvey, project a sexuality derived from—yet never bound by—rock's male sensibilities." [13]

Release and commercial performance

The album was released on 24 October 2000, and promoted with a video for the lead single "Good Fortune", shot at night in streets of London. It reached number 23 on the UK Albums Chart. [14] The album was certified Platinum in the UK, with sales over 300,000 copies. The album debuted at number 42 on the US Billboard 200 chart. [15] As of 2003, it has sold 357,000 copies in United States according to Nielsen SoundScan. [16] It has also been certified Gold in France, and has sold 1 million copies worldwide. [17]

The album was reissued on vinyl in February 2021 as part of a comprehensive reissue campaign of Harvey's back catalogue. A collection of unreleased demos, titled Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea – Demos, was also released. [18]

Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea received critical acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 88, based on 25 reviews. [6] NME hailed it as "a magnificent, life-affirming opus" by Harvey. [22] Robert Christgau called it "the best album of her career" in his review for Rolling Stone . [26]

Other critics rated it as only average. Spencer Owen of Pitchfork viewed the album as lacking in distinction, saying "the sheen gets slicker and her music gets duller". [12] The publication later, however, ranked it at number 124 in their "The Top 200 Albums of the 2000s" list in 2009. [28] In 2021, they included it in their "Rescored" list, saying that they wished to change their original score of 5.4 to an 8.4. [29]

Accolades

The album earned Harvey Brit Award nominations as Best British Female Artist for two years running, as well as two Grammy Award nominations for Best Rock Album and Best Female Rock Performance for the single "This Is Love". [30]

For the album, Harvey was nominated for the 2001 Mercury Prize for the third time (her previous nominations were for Rid of Me and To Bring You My Love). The award ceremony was held on 11 September 2001. Harvey was in Washington, D.C., on that day and witnessed the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon from her hotel room window. She was announced as the winner and accepted her award by phone, saying "It has been a very surreal day. All I can say is thank you very much, I am absolutely stunned." [31] The win made Harvey the first female solo artist to receive the Mercury Prize in the award's history.

The album was ranked number eight on Rolling Stone's list of the 50 Essential "Women in rock" Albums. [32] In 2002, Q magazine named Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea the Greatest Album of All-Time by a Female Artist. [33] In 2006, the album was chosen by Time as one of the 100 best albums of all time. [34] In 2009, Pitchfork named the album the 124th Top Album of the 2000s. [35] In 2009, NME also placed the album inside their Top 100 Greatest Albums of the Decade, at number six. [36] The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die . [37] Rolling Stone named it the thirty-fifth best album of the decade. [38] In 2019, the album was ranked 19th on The Guardian 's 100 Best Albums of the 21st Century list. [39] In the 2012 version of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, it was ranked at number 431, [40] then in the 2020 update, it was moved up to number 313. [41]
