I Inside the Old Year Dying

I Inside the Old Year Dying is the tenth studio album by the English singer-songwriter and musician PJ Harvey, released on 7 July 2023 through Partisan Records.

[17] Harvey also released an additional music video for "Lwonesome Tonight", made from the photo visuals by Steve Gullick shot during the recording process of the album.

[24] Mojo's Victoria Segal remarked that the album "holds itself at the biting point between old and new" and called it "a record [Harvey] was born to make",[26] while Uncut's Alistair MacKay noted it as "a singular thing".

[27] Tony Inglis of The Skinny called it Harvey's "most beguiling work yet" and felt she, Parish and Flood meld "indelible melodies and structures with a writerly form that intertwines modernism with ancient unknowns".

[29] Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Heather Phares claimed it "a triumph in its own right" and declared, "I Inside the Old Year Dying's lively exploration is also a rekindling of something vital in Harvey's art in general.

"[1] Charles Lyons-Burt provided a more reserved assessment for Slant Magazine; "this is an album that gives about as much as it asks in return, even if its medieval trappings and intentional obfuscation do risk letting listeners walk away feeling more bewildered than moved.

[28] Helen Brown of The Independent stated that Harvey's "fans will be all in for this mucky pagan whirl" and felt that the closing track, "A Noiseless Noise", would be "a terrific set closer live".
