Is This Desire? is the fourth studio album by PJ Harvey, released in 1998. It's her most electronically influenced album to date, and also one of her most experimental. It was a notable departure from her more guitar-driven rock albums to a more subtle, atmospheric style.Harvey herself is very proud of the album. In 2004, she told Filter magazine that it was "a very, very difficult, difficult record to make and still one I find very difficult to listen to," but also that it was "probably my favorite record that I've made" because it "had a lot of guts" and saw her "making extremely difficult music, experimenting with techniques I hadn't used before and not really caring what other people thought about it". She further told The Telegraph, "I do think Is This Desire? is the best record I ever made — maybe ever will make — and I feel that that was probably the highlight of my career."The albums' two singles are "A Perfect Day Elise" and "The Wind". | |

Shout-Out | |
| Is This Desire? (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: "A Perfect Day Elise" is inspired by J. D. Salinger's story "A Perfect Day for Bananafish," which is the first of Salinger's stories about a member of the Glass family, Seymour. In the story, Seymour is on vacation with his wife in Florida. While his wife stays in the hotel room and talks on the phone to her mother about his strange behavior, Seymour is having a day at the beach. Afterwards, he comes into the hotel room where his wife is sleeping and shoots himself. | |
