Four : Acts of love

"'FOUR' is an accessible album, filled with heavy questions about what love really means, posed through sensitive and dramatic arrangements.At the other extreme, the standout cover of Exuma's 'Summertime In New York' veers perilously close to the louche, punk-jazz sound Harvey crafted way back in The Birthday Party".

"Det handler om tab, genrejsning og kosmos og fungerer fornemt som en sangcyklus udfoldet i Harveys stærkt personlige klangunivers, hvor også den excentriske makker JP Shiloh på guitar og violin spiller en vigtig rolle. Og ligesom med forgængeren er der tale om et inciterende album, som folder sig ud gennem talrige lytteseancer".

"Four... is at its heart a concept album about a very common notion - the power and mystery of love. Mick Harvey has built the album around other people's songs, a wise move considering the wealth of experience and variety he can and does draw on. Harvey's talent on Four... is to mix impressive arrangements with obtuse lyrics yet still add something to the debate on a well worn topic".
