PJ Harvey has unveiled “Voyager,” her first new music in three years and a glimpse at her much anticipated album. Stream it below.
Harvey had developed the beginnings of “Voyager” when physicist Brian Cox asked her to write a song for his multi-experiential science and nature show “Emergence,” spurring on the completion of the song, according to a press release. The song title comes from the NASA probes launched in 1977 containing Carl Sagan’s Voyager Golden records. Harvey recorded “Voyager” with a full orchestra at Miraval Studios in Provence. Partisan Records is releasing a 7-inch of the single that fans can pre-order here.
In the song, pulsing synths and swelling strings weave with Harvey’s cavernous vocals building into an ethereal composition.
“I was excited for the challenge to compose a song in the ‘voice’ of Voyager 2,” Harvey said in a statement. “I have long been fascinated by the spacecraft and its journey, and asked myself what it might say to us if it could? This was an inspiring route to take to develop the song.”
