Description:
Kate Schatz has created a collection of stories that is weird, dark and seductive in its portrayals of women, love, sex, isolation and power; each a cover version of a song on Rid of Me Alternatively brooding, macabre, bloody, erotic, tongue-in cheek and violent, these fourteen stories are deeply immersed in the language and themes of PJ Harvey's album.




Musically, apt comparisons have been make to everything from Beefheart and Patti Smith to Delta Blues and Celtic Punk. But lyrically and emotionally,Rid of Me encompasses the gothic horror of Shirley Jackson and Poe, the confessional pain of Plath, the carnality of NiN, and the sardonic wit of Dorothy Parker.
