Originally released on 29th April 2013, Mick Harvey’s sixth studio solo album, ‘Four (Acts of Love)’, is being reissued on clear vinyl, alongside 2011’s ‘Sketches From The Book Of The Dead’, with ‘Delirium Tremens’ and ‘Intoxicated Women’ set to follow in mid-2023.

‘Four (Acts of Love)’ is a contemplation on romantic love – its loss, re-awakening, its tumultuous struggle and its place in our universe. The album is a song cycle, divided into three Acts, featuring original compositions by Mick Harvey alongside a song by long-time collaborator PJ Harvey (‘Glorious’) and interpretations of The Saints’ ‘The Story of Love’, Van Morrison’s ‘The Way Young Lovers Do’, Exuma’s ‘Summertime in New York’ and Roy Orbison’s ‘Wild Hearts (Run Out of Time)’.

Recorded at Grace Lane, North Melbourne and Atlantis Sound, Melbourne, ‘Four (Acts of Love)’ features regular collaborators Rosie Westbrook on double bass and JP Shilo on guitar and violin.

“…Mick Harvey proving himself yet again to have a tender touch when it comes to the delicate business of affairs of the heart” – Pop Matters

“‘Four…’ is an accessible album, filled with heavy questions about what love really means, posed through sensitive and dramatic arrangements.” – CLASH

LP pressed on clear vinyl.
