Songwriting heiress PJ Harvey comes back with a shock tactic: instead of making guitar pop, she switches to piano and makes some beautiful music. This is the sound of a young woman who has grown and grown throughout her career and this album completes the development process. The sweet "When Under Ether" and title track "White Chalk" are high up on my favourite tracks of 07 though they are all fantastic. A gentle, touching record.
