Escuchas y acabas empequeñecido, minimizado, aturdido. PollyJean Harvey asusta. Su capacidad para crear, para construir, siempre muy bien acompañada, melodías opresivas, densas, brutales, quese adaptan como un guante al terciopelo líquido, denso y deslizantede su voz, no parecen de este mundo.Por ese motivo su último trabajo»Is this Desire» no podía decepcionar, pese a tener encontra la frialdad con la que se acogió su anterior colaboración junto a John Parish y el saberse responsable de «To Bring You My Love» uno de los mejores discos de la presente década. Lo primero obligabaa recuperar el pulso, el curso de su cauce creativo. Lo segundo era más difícil, pues tras tres años de espera, apenas mitigada por sus colaboraciones con Tricky y Nick Cave, la comparación resultaba inevitable, pese a ser absurda. Is this desire? tiene cuerpo propio, aunque su escucha resulte un tanto confusa y definitivamente no desprenda la magia de su anterior trabajo, quizás por disperso. Una mayor utilización de bases electrónicas opresivas por su reiteraciónen temas como «Joy» o «The Beautiful Leah», han creado un ambiente que nos traslada, en ocasiones, a fragmentos de «Angels with dirty face» el último trabajo de Tricky. Una tonalidad densa y oscura que contrasta con otros cortes más instrumentados, como esa tremenda, tierna y ensoñadora canción con que abre el Lp «Angeline» por no hablar de una joya de las características de «The River» o de la tremenda intensidad de «No Girl SoSweet». De ella siempre se espera lo mejor y este nuevo trabajo, pesea su indudable calidad, parece parido sin dolor y a nosotros nos gusta verla sufrir más.
