Label: Mute
Released 2013
2013 release from the acclaimed musician and Nick Cave sideman. Four (Acts of Love) is a contemplation on romantic love - it's loss, re-awakening, it's tumultuous struggle and it's place in our universe. The album is a song cycle, divided into 3 Acts. The album features original compositions by Mick Harvey alongside a song by long time collaborator PJ Harvey ('Glorious') and interpretations of the Saints' 'The Story of Love', Van Morrison's 'The Way Young Lovers Do', Exuma's 'Summertime in New York' and Roy Orbison's 'Wild Hearts (Run Out of Time)'. FOUR (Acts of Love) is Mick Harvey's sixth solo studio album, and follows 2011's Sketches from the Book of the Dead.
