A second single, "The Piano," was released on 26 November 2007. A third, "The Devil," was released on 7", download, and CD formats in March 2008. ==Style== The previous album ''Uh Huh Her'' had a raw sound〔 but for this record ''White Chalk'', ''Rolling Stone'' 's magazine noted that Harvey "delved further into a Goth-like vibe in the much quieter, haunting, piano-based music". For this album she gave up the traditional three-piece sound guitar/bass/drums and recorded a set of songs for piano, despite her lack of expertise on the instrument. In an interview in ''The Wire'' she explained "the great thing about learning a new instrument from scratch is that it () liberates your imagination."〔 Vocally, she sang in a much higher register than usual, at a pitch outside her normal range and "howled about being possessed by demon lovers and ghosts".〔 Lyrically, Harvey continued with the dark, moody themes typical of much of her music. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「White Chalk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
