REPOST - Ella Hooper on PJ Harvey 'Let England Shake'

ARIA-winning singer-songwriter-presentor-ambassador-multi-hyphenate Ella Hooper slides into the pod booth with host Jeremy Dylan for episode 26 - an exploration of PJ Harvey's 2011 war epic "Let England Shake".

Along the way, they break down tracks including "The Words that Maketh Murder", "The Last Living Rose", "Written on the Forehead" and "The Colour of the Earth" and chat about Harvey's creepy clown vocal style, the unconventional production style, matching musical styles to songs and how this album is the missing link in the Ella Hooper fossil record.
