Harvey, PJ - Voyager

‘Voyager’ is the striking first signal from PJ Harvey’s next artistic chapter and first new music since 2023's Grammy-nominated I Inside the Old Year Dying.

Recorded with a full orchestra at Miraval Studios in Provence, ‘Voyager’ takes its name from the NASA probes launched in 1977, still drifting through interstellar space nearly 50 years on.

The music highlights the interplay between swelling string arrangements and pulsing synthesiser signals stretching out into the cosmos: icy, ethereal, and pensive, yet threaded with an unmistakable humanity. Across it, Harvey contemplates our small, fragile place in the universe; a 'pale-blue dot', a flake of snow, dust in a sunbeam, and finds in that vastness a quiet plea to choose light and to choose love.
