Yep. It's where I first fell in love with her too.
I heard the title track for the first time at a party in grad school: one of the professors, having discovered that I'd never heard of PJ Harvey, put it on for me. The guitar line came up under the conversation like walking the miles of endless, endless road, patient and repetitive and relentless as one foot in front of the other; her voice worn down by obsession and distortion to something as inhuman as dry earth and floods, as impossible to argue with. And that falling organ line at the end, which always makes me think of heat lightning, the rattle like a bronze sistrum in the dark. I took the CD home with me and played it over and over for days.
