PJ Harvey is to record her next album as part of a public art exhibition at London's Somerset House.
She will work on the album with her band behind one-way-mirrored glass. The project, called Recording In Progress, will take place from January 16 to February 14.
The project will be staged in a box in a recently opened wing of the venue and has been described as “a mutating, multidimensional sound sculpture”.
PJ Harvey has received an honorary degree from Goldsmiths University.
The singer, who was appointed an MBE last year, accepted the accolade from the London institution earlier today (September 10), alongside human rights campaigner Peter Tatchell and journalist Neal Ascherson.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was one of the guests to feature on the PJ Harvey edited version of BBC Radio 4's Today programme earlier this morning (January 2).
Dave Grohl has revealed that he asked PJ Harvey to join the remaining Nirvana members on stage to replace Kurt Cobain.
Speaking in this week's NME the Foo Fighters frontman said that he approached Harvey to play with his Sound City players – the band featured in his documentary about the California studio where Nirvana recorded 'Nevermind'.
