专辑介绍

Of the two names in this post’s headline, you might only recognize PJ Harvey’s, but that’s about to change. Her muse on this track, Shaker Aamer, is the last British citizen currently being held at Guantanamo Bay. Despite being pardoned by both Bush and Obama, and never tried or charged with any crime, Aamer’s been held for eleven years, participating in hunger strikes and undergoing torture, though the British government has tried to negotiate his safe return. Harvey’s lovely, minimalist ode to him is meant to raise awareness about his plight – as the US transfers other prisoners from Guantanamo, no plans to free Aamer have been announced. Check out her track and spread the word: like her best songs, it’s gorgeous, moving, and smartly, concisely written, but with a heartstring-tugging, shimmeringly angry social justice edge.
