Harvey's latest won't please those pining for a return to 2000's commercial breakthrough, Stories from The City, Stories From The Sea. For the smaller group of people waiting for a proper follow-up to 1998's haunted Is This Desire?, however, White Chalk fits the bill. This is Harvey at her most sparse and desolate, thanks in large part to her decision to forgoe her trusted guitar in favour of the piano. It's introspective music of specific intent, and whether it's a success or not hinges more on your desires than her performance. Know this though: under White Chalk's skeletal veneer is a work full of subtle rewards.
