PJ Harvey: All About Eve (Original Music) (2019)
Imagine, a PJ Harvey record that includes Gillian Anderson! This is from a stage production of All About Eve, from 2019. This is pretty interesting music and not what you might expect from PJ.

All About Eve: All About Eve (1988)

Evidently, All About Eve's roots are in the goth scene, and the band is often referred to as a goth band. I can hear echos of Siouxsie and the Banshees, but the band--at least on the first album--seems more folk/pop to my ears. It just doesn't seem to fit with the likes of Bauhaus, The Cure, or Joy Division.
Julianne Regan's voice is quite lovely, offering an ethereal, dreamy vocal accompaniment that I quite like. In fact, her voice is what lingers in my mind most above the often acoustic instruments.
