PJ Harvey's new album, White Chalk, came out yesterday, and it is filled with spooky loveliness. The songs are piano-based hymns about loss and memory, embellished with such moody instruments as a "broken harp," "zither," and "wine glass." Harvey croons in a ghostly falsetto, sounding a bit like a dead Victorian child communicating through a Ouija board. In other words, perfect music for a long October night.

Memory is the best wealth.
