7.The daughter of a stonemason and a sculptor, Harvey grew up on a small sheep farm.She later spent time listening to Soft Cell, Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet.Automatic Dlamini bandmate Rob Ellis on drums and Ian Olliver on bass (though Olliver was swiftly replaced by Steve Vaughan).Early career
Harvey released her debut single "Dress" on the independent label Too Pure in October 1991.The following spring she released an equally acclaimed second single, "Sheela Na Gig", and her first LP Dry in 1992.She drew fire in April 1992 when she appeared topless on the cover of the British magazine New Musical Express.Harvey quickly avoided being adopted as a feminist spokesperson, telling Vox that "I wouldn't call myself a feminist because I don't understand the term or the baggage it takes along with it.I'd feel like I really have to go back and study its history to associate myself with it, and I don't feel the need to do that.I'd much rather just get on and do things the way I have been doing them", adding that "I think I'd find it quite patronising to be called a Riot Grrrl if I was one of them, but they obviously don't think so."Maybe I'm not thankful for the things that have gone before me, you know.But I don't see that there's any need to be aware of being a woman in this business.Solo works
After the departure of Ellis and Vaughan in August 1993, Harvey embarked on a solo career exploring collaborations with other musicians.To Bring You My Love (1995) was produced by Flood and John Parish, and quickly became a staple of alternative rock.To Bring You My Love was a worldwide success, selling over one million copies, according to BPI.Harvey broadening her sonic palette to include strings, organ and synthesizers.The album received a glowing critical response and ended up being voted Album of the Year by The Village Voice, Rolling Stone, USA Today, People, The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times.Harvey was also voted Artist of the Year by Rolling Stone.In 1998 she released Is This Desire?Her seventh album, Uh Huh Her, was released 31 May 2004.Track Demos, Harvey produced it alone and played every instrument bar the drums.She told Rolling Stone "when I'm working on a new record, the most important thing is to not repeat myself ...Tricky's Angels with Dirty Faces (on the song "Broken Homes").She lent guitar, bass and background vocals to Sparklehorse's album It's a Wonderful Life (on the songs "Eyepennies" and "Piano Fire").In 1996 she recorded a collaborative album entitled Dance Hall at Louse Point with Parish under the name Polly Jean Harvey.Parish wrote all the music, and Harvey the lyrics, with the exception of the song "Is That All There Is?"She told The Times in 1998, "The tortured artist myth is rampant.It's a load of rubbish".She later told Spin, "Some critics have taken my writing so literally to the point that they'll listen to 'Down by the Water' and believe I have actually given birth to a child and drowned her."Dry (1992)
