In the era of DRY and RID OF ME, Polly Jean Harvey made a point of demarcating herself and PJ Harvey, which she considered the name of the trio she led. Although she kept the name PJ Harvey after original collaborators, Rob Ellis and Steve Vaughan, left in 1994, 1996`s DANCE HALL AT LOUSE POINT was different enough that Harvey temporarily reverted to her full name for its release. Co-written and produced by John Parish, an old friend and musical collaborator who also worked on 1995`s TO BRING YOU MY LOVE and 1998`s IS THIS DESIRE?, DANCE HALL AT LOUSE POINT is an avant-blues album with elements of Nina Simone, Tom Waits, and Captain Beefheart in its strangely orchestrated ballads of desire and suffering. Particular highlights include the single "That Was My Veil" and a tortured rendition of the standard "Is That All There Is?"
